The stars represent the calorie density of the food. The calorie density of a food is a measurement of the average number of calories per gram or ounce of that food.
The calorie density of foods influences your hunger, satiety and food intake. By eating foods with lower calorie density, you will feel full - but have eaten fewer calories.
You can use calorie density to compare the number of calories in equal amounts of different foods and make better calorie choices. For example, 1 oz of chocolate has far more calories (i.e. a higher calorie density) than 1 oz of pretzels.

Make sure you have spelled the food name correctly. For example, "Nesquik" not "Nesquick".
If you get very few results, try using more general search terms. For example, "chicken" rather than "hot chicken meal".
If you get too many results, be more specific in your search terms. For example, "Snickers chocolate" rather than "chocolate".
