Algorithms used to calculate the E-NRF index scores.

Model Algorithm Comment
NRn100kcal i = 1–n
(Nutrienti/RDVi) * 100
Nutrienti = content of nutrient i in 100-kcal edible portion; RDVi = recommended daily values for nutrient i
LIM3100kcal i = 1–3
(Nutrienti/MDVi) * 100
Nutrienti = content of limiting nutrient i in 100-kcal edible portion; MDVi = recommended daily values for nutrient i
NRFn.3100kcal NRn–LIM3 Difference between sums

NRn, nutrient-rich score consisting of n beneficial nutrients dependent on the evaluated E-NRF score; LIM3, limited nutrient score consisting of three nutrients to limit; NRF, nutrient-rich foods score.
