,

I've taught the night class for nutrition for 13yrs and also do this project.

I'm not sure what book you use and what analysis program but my book is

Understanding Nutrition and the program is Diet Analysis. I do like it but give

students the opp to use the free online mypyramid program (guess, I'll have to

change my assignment to represent myplate!) Anyway, I do know that it allows for

several days analysis b/c my students do it.

What I like about mypyramid/plate is that it analyzes all the vit/min - does

fitday? or the others? anyoen know?

Hi Everyone....

I am teaching a course where I have my students analyze their diet for 3

days but I dislike the program that accompanies the textbook. I would prefer

to let them log on to a free site and do it on their own, but I'm not

finding a site that is both comprehensive and with a variety of analysis

methods (3 day average, for example). My Pyramid is OK, but it does not

allow for averages of several days. Any help?

Hi , I have used the program that came with our textbook, too, but didn't

like it either. I have used MyPyramidTracker for the last few semesters, not my

favorite. Last night, I asked the class for suggestions of programs they have

used. I am experimenting with this....I have agreed to let them choose their own

program. I gave them the same guidelines as I required previously. The class was

receptive to the options. I suggested they answer the " 5 W questions " to

determine if the website is reliable. Some students will probably use apps on

their smartphones if they can somehow get graphs through the program.
