The problem
Blood tests flag problems but never say what to order
Hard to read
“LDL 142 H.” What does that mean for lunch?
Vague advice
“Eat less saturated fat.” Which dish, though?
Nothing connects them
No app uses your lab results to choose what you order.

What an upload returns
Eight lab values shape every lunch
- LDL cholesterol▲ Above the lab’s range≤ 6 g saturated fat≥ 8 g fiber
- Total cholesterol▲ Above the lab’s range≤ 6 g saturated fat≥ 8 g fiber
- Triglycerides▲ Above the lab’s range≤ 12 g sugar
- HDL cholesterol▼ Below the lab’s range≥ 8 g fiber
- Glucose▲ Above the lab’s range≤ 10 g sugar≤ 60 g carbs≥ 8 g fiber
- Hemoglobin A1c▲ Above the lab’s range≤ 10 g sugar≤ 60 g carbs≥ 8 g fiber
- Vitamin D▼ Below the lab’s rangeFavors vitamin D–rich dishes: salmon, trout, halibut
- Ferritin (iron)▼ Below the lab’s rangeFavors iron-rich dishes: lentils, beans, chickpeas
Caps are hard limits. Fiber, vitamin D and iron move a dish up. Vitamin D and iron use USDA ingredient data.

Part two
Why it’s different and protected
What makes it different
Food you’re allergic to never shows up. Rankings can’t be bought.
Only what you can order now
Live from restaurant systems. Closed or sold out is hidden.
Your allergens never show
Dishes with them are never on your menu. No setting overrides it.
Written rules decide, not AI
Fixed rules set every limit. AI never decides what’s safe.
Restaurants can’t pay to rank higher
Best fit first. Restaurants never see health data.

Unclear values are confirmed by the user.
- 2
Turns results into limits
High LDL → ≤ 6 g saturated fat per meal.
- 3
Shows only orderable food
Live menus: open and in stock.
- 4
Ranks by health, not payment

The patent covers all four steps together.

The business today
Eat is the business; the rest of the app brings people back
