Food Recommendations from Labs

How ClapDiet recommends foods based on your lab results

4 min readUpdated Sep 2, 2026

When a panel's interpretation finds a nutrient low, ClapDiet looks for the foods

richest in it.

How it works

  • Read the interpretation — each low nutrient comes with a severity: mild, moderate or severe
  • Search the food database — the foods with the most of that nutrient per 100 g, from the same 6-million-food database you search
  • Leave out what you cannot eat — foods matching your allergies and dietary preferences are removed
  • Score them — each food is scored against the richest food for that nutrient, so the top match reads 100
  • Every suggestion says why it is there — "Rich in iron (6 mg/100g)" — and each

    nutrient carries a short note, such as pairing iron with vitamin C for

    absorption or calcium with vitamin D.

    The interpretation itself also names them: a line like "Your iron level is low

    — see the suggested iron-rich foods below" sits under Recommendations on

    the panel.

    Where to find them

    On the web

  • Open Recommendations from the navigation
  • Read Recommended for You — the foods drawn from your latest panel
  • Use the thumbs to mark a suggestion helpful or not
  • The same page has Today's Picks, chosen from your health conditions, and

    Trending Foods, chosen from what people are logging. The Diet mode

    control at the top regenerates everything for the mode you pick.

    Right after an upload, the "Results saved" screen has an Update my

    recommendations button that regenerates the list from the new panel.

    On the phone

  • Open the Labs tab
  • Open the flagged results and tap See food recommendations
  • The home screen also carries a Recommended for You section, and the

    recommendations screen shows each nutrient's target, the foods to reach it, and

    foods to limit.

    Before there is a panel

    Without a saved panel the page reads "Upload your lab results to get

    personalized food recommendations tailored to your health profile". The picks

    and trending foods still appear.

    What it does not do

    Foods in search do not carry a lab score or a coloured badge. There is no budget

    mode and no cuisine preference. Recommendations are drawn from the nutrients

    your latest panel found low; a panel with nothing low produces no

    lab-based suggestions.
