In addition, the foods and beverages present in each picture were categorized and the impact on the peer rating scale by food\/beverage category was examined. Raters were trained to provide a \u2018healthiness\u2019 score using criteria from the 2010 US Dietary Guidelines.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Results The average of all three raters\u2019 scores was highly correlated with the peer healthiness score for all photos (r = 0.88, p&amp;lt;0.001). Using a multivariate linear model (R2 = 0.73) to examine the association of peer healthiness scores with foods and beverages present in photos, peer ratings were in the hypothesized direction for both foods\/beverages to increase and ones to limit. Photos with fruit, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, nuts, and seeds (borderline at p = 0.06) were all associated with higher peer healthiness scores, and processed foods (borderline at p = 0.06), food from fast food restaurants, refined grains, red meat, cheese, savory snacks, sweets\/desserts, and sugar-sweetened beverages were associated with lower peer healthiness scores.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Conclusions The findings suggest that crowdsourcing holds potential to provide basic feedback on overall diet quality to users utilizing a low burden
