The USDA has a freebee program called pcs16-1.exe that lists the nutrients
in a huge number of foods, per100 gr, etc.

I am looking for one that can take an input for each meal and then, for each
day, total the nutrients?
That would save a lot of work.

Anyone know of such a prog?

TIA

"nut 10.17 is nutrition software to record what you eat and analyze
your meals for nutrient composition. The database included is the
USDA Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, Release 17, which
contains 6,839 foods and 128 nutrients. This database contains
values for vitamins, minerals, fats, calories, protein,
carbohydrates, fiber, etc., and includes the essential
polyunsaturated fats, Omega-3 and Omega-6. Nutrient levels are
expressed as a percentage of the Daily Value, the familiar standard
of food labeling in the United States, but also can be fully
customized. Foods can be added from recipes or food labels, and
nutrient intake can be graphed. The program is completely
menu-driven and there are no commands to learn."

Thanks to Mel and Dewey.

Will check out both suggestions but I think I'll have trouble with Dewey's.
I run Win2K Pro and it's been so long since I used DOS it's a distant
memory. Would be helpful to have a compiled prog.

I do have Linux but haven't yet had the nerve to install it in parallel with
Win2K. I get a sinking feeling that if I do that I'll have an inaccessible
box. I
did a practice run once with Linux - from the CD- that was Simple Mepis.
When I get some time I'll have a try at installing it. Eventually I want to
get rid of windoze..

Enjoy the weekend!

Didn't know what you were running. Stick with Mel's suggestion.

At that point, try my suggestion. ;)
 
Jim -

Thanks for the program. I'll certainly try it.

I read with interest some of your comments. About Vitamin C, see the group
misc.health.alternative for a very recent post I made on the subject. The
title
is: Vitamin C may be a life-saver...... and there are some ASTONISHING
revelations there.

Enjoy the read.
