 Diary Page
The Diary Page is your nutritional worksheet. It contains an area where you can post foods, and another area that indicates the nutritional totals for all foods on the page. You can use diary pages for several purposes: to track a person's daily nutrient consumption, to store commonly used meals and recipes, and as general purpose nutritional worksheets.
You can also post values you define yourself (variables) on diary pages. You can use variables to track any quantities you want, such as weight, waist size, blood pressure, etc. Later you can view charts showing changes in these variable values along with the standard nutrient values.

 Quantity dialog box
The are two versions of the Quantityh dialog box:
When activated from a Diary
Page, the Quantity dialog box is where you specify how much of a food to include on the diary page.
When activated from a Food-Item
dialog
box, this is where you specify how much of a food to post the food onto a diary
page. This quantity must correspond to the nutrient values specified for the food. If nutrient
scaling is turned on you can change the quantity and have the nutrient values automatically adjusted. If nutrient scaling is turned off and you change the quantity, the nutrient values are unchanged.
The food's quantity serves two purposes: 1. Quantity tells the amount of food corresponding to the food's nutrient values. Therefore, you can change the quantity entry and see all of the nutrient values adjusted accordingly. Suppose you want to know how much vitamin C there is in 1 gallon of orange juice. Just look up orange juice and change the quantity entry to 1 gallon (see Nutrient
Scaling below). Now all of the food item's nutrients are listed for 1 gallon of orange juice. You can also use this to your advantage when entering nutrient values. Just set quantity equal to whatever amount of food your nutrient values correspond. When you enter a nutrient value for a food, make sure it is for the amount of food indicated by the quantity entry.
2. Quantity serves as the default amount of food that is added to a diary page when the food is posted. Quantity should be set to the amount of food that you usually use when you use the food item. If when you have Coffee, Black, you usually have 14 ounces instead of the usual 1 cup, then you should set the quantity for Coffee, Black to 14 ounces. This way whenever you post Coffee, Black onto a diary page, the quantity will already be set to 14 ounces.

These check-boxes let you specify the graphs and reports to be produced by the Professional Nutritionist. 2
For diary pages, 4 types of output are provided:
         Diary Contents - lists each item along with selected
           nutritional information, and shows nutrient totals
           for all items all the page.
           Settings in the Detail
dialog
box determine
           the nutritional information to be shown.
         Nutritional Analysis - lists nutritional totals only; the
           text version of this output is the same as that for the
           Bargraph and includes RDA percentages.
         Bargraph (Nutrient Profile) - shows a bargraph comparing nutrient
           levels to recommended values. The text version of this output
           lists nutritional totals and RDA percentages.
         Pie Chart (Calorie Protile) - shows a pie chart illustrating the
           calorie breakdown for a diary page. The text version of this
           output lists the weight, calories, and percentage for
           each calorie component (Protein, Carbohydrate, Saturated Fat,
           Poly-Unsaturated Fat, Mono-Unsaturated Fat, and other).
For charts only one output option is provided, 'Time Graph'. Time graph data can be viewed in the form of a table by directing time graph output to a text window.
When outputting to a video display or printer, the program produces high resolution graphics. When sending to a text window, the program converts its output to an equivalent ASCII text form. Therefore, you can view the same information in either graphical form or in text form. Information in the ASCII text form can be saved in Text
files and can be transferred to other applications, such as spreadsheets and text processing programs. See Destination.
