What do the MEI and EDRI indexes mean

MEI — the mindful eating index

A scale from 0 to 1, higher is better. It shows how attentively you eat: whether you notice hunger and fullness, whether you eat on the run, whether food is doing the work of emotions. Simple things lift it: eating slower, without a screen, pausing before a second helping.

EDRI — the eating disorder risk index

A scale from 0 to 1, lower is better. It's a soft signal based on your food logs, emotions and patterns. Roughly: up to 0.4 is low risk, 0.4–0.6 is worth a closer look, above 0.6 it makes sense to take the pressure off yourself and, if you want, see a specialist.
