Your Dietary Data Return Report

In addition to our heartfelt gratitude, all Everyone EATS participants receive a dietary data return. This personalized report lists the plant and animal species we identified in your stool and groups them by category. It also shows how your eating habits compare to the average American diet through side-by-side comparisons.

Think like a scientist

Want to add another layer to your citizen science experience? Try these extra activities:

  1. Keep a food diary: Record what you eat in the 72-hour period leading up to your sample collection. When you receive your dietary report, compare it with the food diary. Were there unexpected ingredients or foods in the report? Did we miss anything?

  2. Hypothesize how your diet compares: Do you think you eat differently from the average American? Check out the CDC’s Fast Stats for averages across food categories, consider how similar/different it is from your diet, and later use your dietary report to confirm or challenge your original hypothesis.

  3. *IN THE FUTURE: Each stool sample is a single snapshot into your diet within a narrow timeframe. We’re working to make it so that you can send multiple samples over time, providing both you and our scientists a more holistic view of your diet and whether it’s changing.
