* Maximum scores allowed are, for instance, 60% kilocalories from cereal group (score = 60% x 0.5 = 30), 20% kilocalories from animal products (score = 29% x 2.0 = 40), etc. Over and above the maximum score limit, there will be no additional score to the diet from that food group. For example, 85% kilocalories from the cereal group will score 30 and not (85% x 0.5 = 42.5), similarly 45% kilocalories from animal products will score 40 and not (45% x 2.0 = 90).
