NUTRI-DIET is a diet and menu planning program that consists of a dtaa file and a program. The data file offers the source of the data is the entire USDA (United States
Department of Agriculture) database known as Handbook 8 in the food profession. It features the nutritional composition of almost 5000 food descriptions. The program consists of three completely independent modules:
1) Food Analysis & Meal Planning
2) Supplement Food Data Management
3) Dieting.
The Food Analysis & Meal Planning module provides an extremely user friendly method for retrieving and displaying food descriptions and associated nutritional data. A report is
compiled of all selected foods with a summation of their nutrients and corresponding percentages of Recommended Daily Allowances.
The Supplement Food Data Management module allows the user to add foods to the database.
The Dieting module calculates daily calories to achieve user specified goals. The number of calories are based on sex, age, height, frame, starting weight and target weight. A daily log of user updates and resulting calculations is maintained for review and study.
