NOTICE: This program can be SUPER FUN!
Go on to Lesson 1.
Introduces you the PROFESSIONAL NUTRITIONIST's
desktop environment and user interface.
Show you how to open and browse files, how to
access the help system, and how to move windows.
LESSON 1: Desktop Basics
This lesson introduces you to the PROFESSIONAL NUTRITIONIST's user
interface and desktop environment.
You will learn:
  1) how to retrieve a stored desktop,
  2) how to display files either as icons or full size,
  3) how to browse the contents of diary files and food files,
  4) how to get context sensitive help on any topic,
  5) how to move and resize desktop objects.
To pause the demonstration, click the right mouse button or press Spacebar.
To adjust the speed, use the up and down arrows.
First we'll load the LESSON1 desktop, by using the "File|Retrieve Desktop"
menu command.
By retrieving a previously saved desktop you reduce
the number of steps required each time you start your work.
Desktop files make it easy for you to save your work at any time,
then pickup at a later date right where you left off.
The three boxes that appear on the left of the screen are iconized files.
These files were loaded automatically with the LESSON1 desktop.
The box labeled SAMPLE.DIA is an icon representing the diary file
called SAMPLE.DIA.
We'll be using the SAMPLE diary as an example in these lessons.
We'll click on the SAMPLE.DIA icon to display it full size.
In practice, you'll use a separate diary file for each client you wish
to analyze or track.
Information that you save in a diary is stored there until
you choose to delete it.
As you'll see, you access all the program's dietary assessment,
analysis, and tracking functions through diary pages.
Each entry shown in the list represents a diary page.
You can see what's on a diary page using the EDIT button.
Let's use the EDIT button to view a diary page.
Items that have been added to a diary page appear
in the box on the left.
The bargraph on the right of the diary page shows the proportions of
protein, carbohydrate, and fat.
The numbers above the bargraph show the calories and percentage
of total calories for each item.
Total calories are also listed.
A scrollable list show the values for each of 29 nutrients.
You can view the all the nutrient values compared to your daily
goals by clicking on the GOALS button.
You get a hint on the bottom of the screen depending
upon the current context.
Watch the bottom of the screen as we move from area to area by pressing the
TAB key.
By pressing F1 or by clicking over HELP, we can find out
more information about the current topic.
Let's bring help on the current topic, the SAVE button.
The help screen gives you more information on the selected topic.
The highlighted words are cross-referenced topics.
You can go to any of these topics, by selecting the
topic and then pressing ENTER, or by double clicking.
Let's get help on the selected item, "Diary Page".
You can follow as many links as you wish.
Click over "Previous Topic" to go back.
Press ESC or click the close icon to close the help window.
Let's close the diary page.
To close a diary page without saving changes, use the CANCEL button.
Let's look at another diary page.
Its possible to look at several diary pages at once.
Let's enlarge the desktop by going into the high resolution video mode.
Let's move the diary pages so they are both visible.
To move any window, drag on the window's title bar.
Let's use the "Window|Zoom" command to zoom a diary page.
You can also zoom a window by clicking the zoom icon which
appears in the upper right corner.
You can close any window by clicking on the close icon [
that appears in the upper left of the window.
Let's close these two diary pages.
Let's go back to the lower resolution video mode.
Let's make the SAMPLE diary into an icon again.
Diary files are also great for storing collections of your favorite
meals and recipes.
For example, MEALS.DIA is a diary file that contains some of my
favorite meals.
You can add your own meals to this diary, or modify the ones that
are already there.
Each meal is stored on a Diary Page.
It's easy to browse and compare meals.
The bargraph on the right of each page shows macronutrient ratios,
for Protein, Carbohydrate, and Fat at a glance.
Gram values are given in the scrollable list below the bargraph.
To view a pie chart showing calorie breakdown, click the
PIE CHART button.y'
We'll close these diary pages now.
We'll iconize the MEALS diary.
DEMOFOOD.FOD is the sample food file we've supplied as part of the
demonstration package.
It only contains about 100 foods. When you buy the program, you get
a database of over 6500 foods.
It's easy to locate and compare foods by using the filter.
Let's compare milkshakes.
We'll choose the SET FILTER button and enter MILKSHAKE into the
Name field of the Filter dialog box.
Now the food list only shows milkshakes.
Let's browse these milkshakes.
Notice that:
  1) the Vanilla milkshake is the lowest in calories,
  2) the Strawberry milkshake is the highest in calories,
  3) the Chocolate milkshake has the most fat.
It's easy to make similar comparisons with any foods, meals, or diary pages.
Let's iconize the DEMOFOOD window.
Notice how the child windows are iconized as well.
Let's return to the normal Video Mode.
You now know the basics of working with the PROFESSIONAL NUTRITIONIST program.
WARNING: This program can be habit forming!
Go on to Lesson 2.
Covers starting a new diary file, entering a body
profile, and setting up the dietary assessment
mechanism.
LESSON 2: Making a Diary
This lesson covers starting a new diary file for a client.
You will learn:
  1) how to open and name a new diary file,
  2) how to enter or edit a personal profile,
  3) how to customize dietary goals for the client.
We'll start by using the "File|Open Diary" menu command
When the "Open a Diary File" dialog box appears, we'll type in the
name for our diary file.
We'll use the name "MyName".
When you do this yourself, you can use any unique name that's up to
8 characters long to name the diary.
The MyName diary appears on the desktop.
Note there are no entries in this diary yet, it is completely blank.
First, let's enter the personal body profile for the person that will
be using this diary.
We'll enter the name of the client in the Name field.
Press the TAB key to move to the next field.
We'll select the correct sex, then press TAB to move to the next field.
We'll enter the client's weight, then press TAB.
We'll enter the client's height, then press TAB.
We'll enter the client's birthday, then press TAB.
We'll enter the client's wrist circumference, then press TAB.
Now all of the client's personal body profile has been specified.
The lower portion of the "Profile" dialog box calculates the client's
daily energy requirements.
Note that the program has calculated a REE (Resting Energy Expenditure),
an Activity Factor, and the daily Maintenence Calories for the client.
These calculations are automatically optimized by the program,
based upon the client's profile, when the "Automatic" radio-button
is set to "On".
With "Automatic" set "On", you don't ever need to worry about
the settings that appear in the lower portion of the "Profile" dialog box.
However, you may wish to set "Automatic Off" and adjust the
energy calculation yourself in the following cases:
  1) you are a professional in a clinical setting,
  2) you wish to adjust Activity Factor for a client with an abnormal
     metabolism, or whom is extremely active or inactive,
  3) you are or a student interested in studying the energy calculations,
  4) are an advanced user interested in adjusting the energy calculations
     to match your own methods.
In this case, refer to the User's Manual or Help System for more information.
We'll choose save to accept the current settings.
We can come back at any time and make adjustments if necessary.
Now we'll click the SET GOALS button to set the client's goals.
The "Set Goals" dialog Box lets you program the following:
  1) the client's target Protein:Carbohydrate:Fat ratio;
       this sets the percentage of total calories desired to come from
       Protein, Carbohydrate, and Fat,
  2) a Caloric Program;
       this sets a goal for daily calorie consumption, depending upon
       whether the client's wishes to gain, lose, or maintain weight.
  3) a factor to calculate Protein Adequacy;
       this sets a goal for daily protein consumption based upon body weight.
We'll accept the default settings for Protein:Carbo:Fat ratio.
This sets the the daily protein target to 12% total calories,
carbohydrate to 58%, and fat to 30%.
Let's say our client needs to gain a little weight. We'll put
him on a weight gain program by clicking "Gain Weight".
This adds 500 calories to the client's maintenence calories to
calculate the client's daily caloric target.
Let's click the SAVE button to accept these goals.
We now have a new diary, ready to be used by the client.
Let's open a blank diary page and take a look at the client's daily goals.
To view the client's goals click on the GOALS button.
The client's daily nutritional goals appear in the "Target" column.
Nutritional totals for all diary page items appear in the "Actual" column.
Let's close the "Goals" dialog box.
Let's click the CANCEL button to close and discard this diary page.
Now let's close and discard (since this is a demo) the diary file.
Whenever you attempt to close a file that been changed, you are
prompted to approve saving the changes to hard disk.
Let's click on the close icon of the diary file.
We will discard the diary file by answering NO to the prompt.
IMPORTANT: you must answer YES to the previous message box prompt in order to
save any changes you've made to a diary file.
Whenever you attempt to close a file that been changed, you are prompted to
approve saving the changes to hard disk.
This concludes Lesson 2!
Now, try using the program to create a diary for yourself.
ITS EASY!!!!
And don't worry, you can't break anything.
If you have problems, try watching this lesson again. GOOD EATING!
Show you how to combine food items to make meals.
You'll learn how to enter food items onto a diary
page, how to adjust quantities, and how to save
meals for future use.
LESSON 3: Making Meals
This lesson shows you how to make meals from several food items.
You will learn:
  1) how to create and name a new diary page for the meal,
  2) how to add food items to the meal,
  3) how to adjust the quantity and units of measure food items in the meal,
  4) how to save the resulting meal for future use.
As you'll see, you can add as many meals as you wish to the MEALS diary.
Each meal must be given a unique name and placed on its own diary page.
We will began by opening the Lesson3 desktop using the
"File|Retrieve Desktop" command.
We will now open a new page in the MEALS diary where our meal will reside.
Let's call our meal "Hamburger Lunch (BK)", Burger King.
It's easy to add comments to our Diary Page. Let's label our meal
"Lunch".
Let's add our food items. We'll began with a Burger King "Junior Whopper".
Now let's add a pie entry.
Let's add a soda entry.
Let's change the quantity of soda from 12 fl. oz. to 16 fl. oz.
Notice how our nutrient values instantly adjust.
You see how quick it is to combine food items to make meals.
Similarly, you can combine foods and meals to make diary pages for a day.
You'll find it takes only minutes a day to track your diet.
Now on to Lesson 4, where you'll learn to combine both meals and food items
on a diary page.
Takes you step by step through a typical session.
You'll learn how to add meals and food items to
a diary page, how to adjust quantities, and how
to view the resulting analysis in several ways.
LESSON 4: Daily Analysis
This lesson takes you step by step through a typical session with
the Professional Nutritionist program.
You will learn:
  1) how to retrieve a stored desktop,
  2) how to create a new diary page using the calendar,
  3) how to add meals to a diary page,
  4) how to view the resulting analysis in several different ways.
To pause the demonstration, click the right mouse button or press Spacebar.
To adjust the speed, use the up and down arrows.
First we'll load the LESSON1 desktop, by using the "File|Retrieve Desktop"
menu command.
By retrieving a previously saved desktop you reduce the
number of steps required each time you start your work.
Desktop files make it easy for you to save your work at any time,
then pickup at a later date right where you left off.
We're going to work using the SAMPLE diary, so we'll activate
the SAMPLE.DIA diary file by mouse clicking over the bottom icon.
This will display the SAMPLE diary in full size instead of as an icon.
Next we'll use the Calendar command to display the pop-up calendar.
The calendar makes it easy to open or create new diary pages.
We'll select a day from the calendar by clicking it.
This opens the diary page for the selected day.
Let's reposition the diary page so it's easier to see the icons
on the left of the screen.
It's easy to move items around on the desktop by dragging
on their title bars.
We'll reposition the diary page using this technique.
As I said, I've already put some of my favorite meals into a diary
called MEALS.DIA.
Let's select the MEALS.DIA icon now to view the MEALS diary full size.
We're going to fill the diary page with meals from MEALS diary.
So next, let's select the diary page window by clicking on
its title bar.
We'll use the Add Meal button. This will bring up a list
showing the contents of the MEALS diary.
For breakfast, let's choose Bagel Breakfast from the list.
We'll use the POST button to add Bagel Breakfast to our diary page.
Notice that Bagel Breakfast has indeed been added to
the diary page and that all of the nutritional information
there has been updated to reflect this.
Now let' repeat the steps we did to add foods for breakfast,
to add foods for the rest of the day.
Let's start with lunch. Again we'll use the ADD MEAL button.
Next we'll add our snack.
Then we'll add dinner.
The bargraph on the right of the diary page shows the proportions of
protein, carbohydrate, and fat.
The numbers above the bargraph show the calories and percentage
of total calories for each item.
Total calories are also listed.
A scrollable list show the values for each of 29 nutrients.
You can view the all the nutrient values compared to your daily
goals by clicking on the "Goals" button.
It's easy to go back and edit or replace any of the food items.
For example, to adjust a food's quantity, double click on the food.
With the keyboard, select the food, then press SPACEBAR.
It's easy to add individual foods to your diary pages.
Follow the same procedure as for adding meals.
Just move the cursor to where we want to insert the food,
then use the ADD FOOD button.
Select a food from a food file, then choose the POST button or Press ENTER.
The adjust the food's quantity, just select the food and press SPACEBAR,
or DOUBLE CLICK over the food.
Use can choose any units of measure you desire.
Notice how we've used FLOZ (Fluid Ounces), in one location,
as the units of measure for soda, and CUP in another.
Diary pages make it easy for you to track and analyze your daily diet.
Let's click the SAVE button to close this diary page and keep the changes.
Now let's close the diary file.
Whenever you attempt to close a file that been changed, you are
prompted to approve saving the changes to hard disk.
Let's click on the close icon of the diary file.
We will discard the diary file by answering NO to the prompt.
IMPORTANT: you must answer YES to the message box prompt in order to save
any changes you've made to a diary file.
Whenever you attempt to close a file that been changed, you are prompted to
approve saving the changes to hard disk.
This concludes lesson 4!
Remember, the most efficient way to work is to make up your favorite meals
first, then use those meals to build up your daily diary pages.
You should now know enough to begin tracking your own diet with the
PROFESSIONAL NUTRITIONIST program.
You'll find it takes only minutes a day to track your diet.
Shows you how to configure and save your own
desktop arrangements. You'll see how fast and
efficient it is to work with desktops.
LESSON 5: Building a Desktop
This lesson covers building your own desktops.
You will learn:
  1) how to open food, diary, and chart files,
  2) how to save the desktop configuration in a desktop file,
  3) how to load a previously saved desktop configuration.
First we will open several files and arrange them neatly on our
desktop (screen).
Now we're going to save this desktop arrangement.
With the "File|Desktop Save" menu command, we can save our
Desktop (screen) at any point during our work session.
This is great if you have to stop work and want to pick up at a later date
right where you left off.
Each Desktop must be given a unique name up to 8 characters long.
We'll call this desktop MYDESK.
Let's use the "File|Save Desktop" menu command now.
Now we'll clear our Desktop (screen) knowing we can later return with
one simple action.
By using the "File|Retrieve Desktop" command, we can return to our exact
position with one simple action, rather than opening each file individually.
Now we'll use the "File|Retrieve Desktop" command to reload the desktop.
What could be easier or more convenient.
This feature is designed to reduce the amount of steps you need to
perform each time you use the program.
This concludes Lesson 5.
Shows you various ways to view graphical output
from the program. You'll learn how to track user
supplied values by adding variables to your diary
pages. Also shows how to view ranges of charts.
LESSON 6: Charts and Graphs
This lesson shows you how to view graphical output from the program.
You will learn:
  1) how to display diary page data as pie charts and bar graphs,
  2) how to display charts (diary page data plotted over time),
  3) how track user supplied data by adding variables to diary pages
  4) how to use the "Print" dialog box
  5) how to display a range of charts with one command.
We will began by retrieving the Lesson6 desktop and opening a page in the
sample diary.
Each diary page contains a wealth of nutritional information.
Let's see how easily this information can be viewed in the form of a
Bar Graph or Pie Chart.
It's also easy to view graphs and charts for a range of diary pages.
We will do this in the "Print Dialog Box".
Variables are added to diary pages and then displayed graphically
as time charts.
Common variables are supplied in the DEFAULT variable file, but it's also
easy to add new ones of your own.
Let's see just how easy it is to view some charts.
It's also easy to view a range of charts.
As you can see, the PROFESSIONAL NUTRITIONIST provides the user with a great
deal of flexibility for viewing output.
This concludes Lesson 6.
You should now know enough to productively use the program.
REMEMBER, you can get context sensitive help while in any area
of the program by pressing F1.
We hope you enjoy the PROFESSIONAL NUTRITIONST.
Shows you how to work with recipes. You'll see how
to make a recipe and adjust for any quantity, how
to view nutrient values for a single serving, and
how to view nutrient values for each ingredient.
LESSON 7: Recipes
This lesson shows you how to work with recipes.
You will learn:
  1) how to use diary pages to store recipes,
  2) how to adjust for any final quantity of a recipe,
  3) how to create a new recipe by building upon an existing recipe,
  4) how to view the nutrient analysis for one serving of a recipe,
  5) how to view the nutrient analysis for each ingredient in a recipe.
We'll use the diary called "RECIPES0" to store all of our recipes. You can
create as many recipe diarys as you'd like and name them however you wish
using up to 8 characters.
Recipes files are no different then diaries and work in exactly the same way.
Let's use the "File|Open Diary" menu command to open the "RECIPES0" diary.
The "RECIPES0" diary only has one recipe right now.
It's for Grandma's Muffins.
The (12) in the recipe's name indicates that the recipe makes 12 muffins.
Let's take a look at Grandma's muffin recipe.
The instructions are entered as comments. You can edit any of the
instructions by double-clicking or pressing spacebar over the selected item.y'
Let's edit this first comment.
IMPORTANT TIP: Normally comments appear inside brackets {}. To make a comment
appear without the brackets, first fill the comment input-box with spaces.
Then press the Ins key to enter the insert mode when editing the comment.
The ingredients are entered in the same mannar as you previous learned
for adding food items to a diary page.
Grandma always used butter in her muffins. We like to use margarine instead.
Let's change the butter in Grandma's recipe to margarine.
Let's close Grandma's recipe and save the changes.
Now suppose we want to find out the nutritional values for just one
of Grandma's delicious muffins.
Let's open a new diary page as a work sheet. We'll use the "New" button.
Grandma's recipe made 12 muffins, therefore 1/12 of her recipe makes 1 muffin.
Since we can't enter a fraction like 1/12 into the serving size input box,
we'll need to use the pop-up calculator to evaluate 1/12.
We'll use the "Add Meal" button, then post "Muffins, Grandma's (12)"
on to the diary page, remembering to enter 0.0833 as the serving size
(still visible on the calculator) when prompted.y'
The diary page now shows the nutrient analysis for just one of
Grandma's Muffins.
Let's give this diary page a name and save it for later.
Let's discard the calculator to tidy up our desktop.
In this part of the lesson we are going to create an improved recipe for
muffins by jazzing up Grandma's old muffin recipe.
We'll create a new diary page in the "RECIPES0" diary by using the "New"
button.
We need a name for this recipe. I'd like to try adding some blueberries to
Grandma's muffin mix, so we'll call this recipe Muffins, Blueberrie (12).
You can add ingredients to the diary page one by one, and use comments
for instructions. But in this case we are going to start with Grandma's
recipe for Muffins.
We're going to add 1 cup of Blueberries to Grandma's muffin mix. We'll need
to the decrease the quantities on Grandma's recipe to account for the extra
cup of berries if we still want to make 12 muffins of the same size.
Since Grandma's recipe makes 12 muffins, about 6 cups, and we plan on adding
an extra cup of berries, we need to adjust the quanties in Grandma's recipe
to only produce 5 cups.
With the extra cup of berries the new recipe will still yield 12 muffins.
So with the extra cup of berries we'll only need 5/6 the amount of Grandma's
recipe. We can't enter 5/6 as a serving size so we'll use the pop-up
calculator again to find out what 5/6 turns out to be in decimal.

The fraction 5/6 is the about the same as 0.8333.
We'll now use the "Add Meal" button, to post "Muffins, Grandma's (12)"
onto our diary page, remembering to enter a serving size of 0.8333 to adjust
the quanties in Grandma's recipe.
Now all we have to do is add the blueberries.
Let's move the cursor to the proper position then use the
add food button to add the blueberries.y'
NOTE: We could select Blackberries from the list to make Blackberrie Muffins!
That's it! Our recipe is done. Let's save the recipe and compare one of
our Blueberrie muffins to one of Grandma's muffins.y'
We'll need to make a new diary page for a single Blueberry Muffin by
repeating the procedure demonstrated eariler in this lesson.
We'll use the "Print..." button to bring up the "Print diary data" dialog
box where we will configure our output.
The "From", "To", and "From & To" buttons on the top of the dialog box
are used to set the range of diary pages to be printed. Note that
"Muffins, Blueberrie Single)" is already selected.
We'll set "Options" to print "Diary Contents" and "Pie Chart (Calorie Profile)".
Now we'll click the "Detail..." button so we can tell the program which
nutrients we are interested in seeing when "Diary Contents" is printed.y'
Let's set the "Destination" raido-buttons to direct output to a text window.
We'll click the "Go" button to produce the output.
Let's get similar output for one of Grandma's muffins.
We'll use the "From & To" button to choose "Muffins, Grandma's (Single)".
Now we'll click the "Go" button to send output for one of Grandma's muffins
to the same text window.
Let's take a look at the output.
It's easy to see the amount of nutrient from each ingredient as well as
the totals for each nutrient.
It seems our new muffins are slightly healther than Grandma's.
Our's have about 22 fewer calories and 1 less gram of fat each.
Wonder what Grandma would say?
This report can be saved to disk, printed, or discarded. You can browse
through it yourself when the lesson ends.
This concludes LESSON 7. I hope you enjoy creating healthy new recipes
with the PROFESSIONAL NUTRITIONIST program.
