Healthy Eating Food Index (HEFI)
Assess diet quality using Canada's Healthy Eating Food Index. Evaluate nutritional quality across 10 components for comprehensive dietary analysis.
HEFI Calculator
Build a meal or day from foods to estimate HEFI-2019 alignment. For scientifically valid use, HEFI-2019 is intended for complete daily dietary patterns (24-hour recalls), not single foods.
Important: HEFI-2019 is a pattern-level index
- Use HEFI with complete meals or 24-hour recalls.
- Single-food scores are educational estimates and should be interpreted cautiously.
