CalorieBase is designed to provide a caloric and fat count for recipes which do not provide this information. It can also quickly give the calories for a specific food, or total the calories you consume throughout the day.
When beginning CalorieBase you must enter the number of people the recipe serves. If you are simply checking a specific food type, or compiling a calorie count for yourself, enter 1.
To enter numbers in CalorieBase, click on the displayed values along the right side of the screen until the correct total you wish to enter is displayed at the top. Click on ACCEPT to enter the total; click on RESET to zero the total; click on ABORT if you do not wish to enter an amount.
Once you have set the number of people, simply click on food types and enter the amount of that type until you have entered all the items in the recipe. CalorieBase keeps a running total. To start over or reset all the totals, click on CLEAR. You will be prompted to enter a new "# of people in the Recipe."
If you are prompted to enter either ounces, cups, teaspoons or tablespoons, you can change to one of the other three by clicking on the graphic in the upper-right corner. If a type of measurment other than these four is required, you cannot switch to another type.
The US Recommended Daily Allowance is no more than 30% of your caloric intake from fat grams. If CalorieBase indicates your diet is over 30%, you would benefit from making changes in your eating habits.
