Health Food Nut Lifestyle

My adventurous sim, just got the health food nut lifestyle, since they started as a rags to riches they could only afford the fridge and made a ton of salads which is how he got the lifestyle. However I find it weird that a lot of the new foods that come with Snowy Escape are not considered "healthy". I get that hot pot wouldn't be considered healthy (there's lots of oils and fats in it) but he didn't like avocado maki roll (which I consider healthy) and it gave him the wasted calories sad moodlet. I think that the foods that the game considers healthy need a bit of a tune up to include the foods from SE and CL cause a lot of those I would consider healthy eating options. Does anyone know what foods, that are NOT part of the health food nut cooking options, are considered healthy by health nut sims? So far I have found salad and pan fried tilapia to be ok. I don't want to always have to cook the health nut options as they make my sim energized and that buff is strong enough to cover other buffs, like inspired or focused, I want my sim to feel those too sometimes and not always energized from healthy foods.

I agree, it needs some tweaking.
- all salads including fruit salad
- fresh harvestables
(- the healthy meals your Sim can cook once the lifestyle is achieved)
Maybe it's based purely on calorie content rather than a more balanced traffic light system that include nutritious but calorific foods like avocado and nuts.
Granola does not have the healhty food tag, nor have the vegetarian and seefood meals.
I highly doubt that custom food has the healthy food tag applied - unless the modder expressly states so or the food has been created after the release of SnowyEscape and was cloned from a salad.
I think that meals with fresh ingredients also count towards the health nut lifestyle, but I cannot prove that.
Even before the health nut lifestyle came out, I was confused about how some sims would get a bad moodlet from eating too many quick meals, when they ate healthy things like peas and yogurt. Because of that, I figured that health nuts don't like healthy quick meals, but there was no way to determine which of the other foods count as healthy and which don't.
Haven't tried everything, but one entire family got the lifestyle from eating grilled fruit, pasta primavera and grilled chicken everyday.
-edit- okay just noticed the date of the thread, so they probably updated it since.
