There is no specific criteria, but in general our editors look at:
- Nutrients like calories, fat, fiber, and sodium
- Member ratings of the recipe
- If it is a unique recipe (we try not to make duplicate/similar recipes both Editor's Choice)
- If the recipe is fairly easy to prepare

We definitely don't just base this on nutrients/calories, like you said something can be low in calories but just a really small serving size.

I have had a look back over a couple of month's worth of questions here but can't find the answer. Sorry if this has been asked before.

What is the criteria for a recipe to be chosen as an "Editor's Choice" recipe? Like is there a set amount of sodium, fat, fibre or any number of things that it can't go over per serve?

Then I do know a lot of popular cereal packs deliberatly put small serving sizes to make it look like their cereal is healthy even though the amount per serve wouldn't satisfy an ant so does it mean that you use like a general value/per 100g standard like on Australian nutrition labels?

Nah that can't be it cause then someone there would have to make every single recipe and weigh a serving.......and convert it to a set weight.

So how is it calculated?

Gee that turned into a complicated question the more I got into it! Sorry......if it doesn't get answered I'll understand!
