Toast lead

+16.3

Higher is better. The score blends calories and macros into one weighted accuracy number.

How the benchmark was run

We wanted a benchmark that looks closer to real-world logging, not a hand-tuned demo.

Blind benchmark

The benchmark was assembled by AI agents instead of being hand-picked row by row, so the results were not manually curated to make Toast look good.

MyFitnessPal got the benefit of the doubt

The agent searched MyFitnessPal by the specific food name and chose the entry it believed was the closest match, aiming to mimic a careful human search.

References were agent-found too

The source-of-truth references were also gathered without manual intervention, using USDA pages, official restaurant nutrition pages, and published recipe nutrition when needed.
