A method for monitoring and incentivizing food purchasing includes presenting a prompt for regarding a first food product code, receiving an input regarding the first food product and rating the healthiness of the first food product. The computerized method does the same for a second food product. A healthiness rating is determined for each of the first food item, the second food item and the combination of the food items. The healthiness rating includes a biometric input for setting a calorie budget and a health profile for determining the best mix of food nutrient values for a particular health profile. Incentives are provided based on the healthiness rating of the combination. A computer system can be employed to implement the above method. An instruction set stored in memory implements the method and causes the computer hardware and software to implement the method.
