Guest guest Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Carol, and others... I would be interested in knowing about nutrition calculation programs -- especially if you think they work well. Ideal would be free, web-based, and able to calculate food values based on specifics things like cooked spinach vs. raw spinach, and prepared foods (even at a fairly simple level, like " whole wheat pita bread " ). But, ideal is ideal -- what have you used and did it work well for you? Speaking of ideal, I don't really expect software to knows about thing like sprouted sunflower seeds and sprouted lentils and fermented (vs. commercial) sauerkraut and sunflower sprouts -- but if there is software that knows (some of) these things I'd be thrilled. thanks, Moria At 06:13 AM 4/3/2009, you wrote: >Re: What are some protien recipes? > Posted by: " left coast carol " edgegardener edgegardener > Thu Apr 2, 2009 7:08 pm ((PDT)) > >Hi Sandra > From what I can figure, between beans, whole grains, greens, and a >moderate amount of Soy milk or tofu, my average is between 45 and 70 >grams of protien a day, usually around, 50.

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Hi Moria This is probably the most comprehensive one http://www.nutritiondata.com/ and another http://www.whfoods.com/ Calorie King is good too. They have a great PDA program for tracking diet, and exercise ,with an exhaustive database, and customisable personal file. Kept me on track till I was sure my old habits were overcome.... for the most part.... http://www.calorieking.com/foods/ Hope that helps..

Guest guest Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I've also used Fitday before. It has the choice of a free online account or to purchase software. I checked it out online first. Liked it enough that we purchased it. You can enter custom foods, even with the online version. Only problem is that it's only for PC's. We switched to Macs last year. So I am back to using it occasionally online. Although I don't have as great a need for it now. Used it a lot at first to make sure we were getting our basic nutrients met. No problem, we were over the recommended amount for almost every nutrient listed. Martha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
