What this calculator looks at
What does this Atlantic Diet Calculator measure?
It scores selected habits associated with an Atlantic-style food pattern, including fish and seafood, vegetables, legumes, whole grains, potatoes/root vegetables, olive oil, seasonal foods, and home cooking.
Atlantic diet vs Mediterranean diet
Both patterns can emphasize fresh foods, plants, olive oil, and fish. Atlantic-style descriptions often highlight seafood, potatoes, stews, legumes, seasonal foods, and food traditions from Galicia and northern Portugal.
How to use the result
Use the score to spot one practical change: add legumes, choose fish/seafood more often, cook a simple vegetable stew, or reduce ultra-processed foods.
Food pattern components
| Component | Why it matters for this pattern |
|---|---|
| Fish and seafood | Core food group in many Atlantic diet descriptions. |
| Vegetables, legumes, whole grains | Plant-forward base shared with other healthy patterns. |
| Potatoes / root foods | Often part of traditional Atlantic meals. |
| Fresh seasonal home cooking | More important than strict macro counting. |
