Points-Based Diet Calculator

This calculator estimates a "points" value for a food item based on its nutritional information, similar to popular points-based diet programs.

The Formula:

The calculation is based on a common formula that considers calories, fat, and fiber:

Points = (Calories / 50) + (Fat / 12) - (Fiber / 5)

The benefit from fiber is capped at 4 grams to prevent negative point values for very high-fiber foods. This is a standard practice in many such systems.
