Re: Anyone want to comment on theirnutrient tracking program?

[Guest guest]

Francesca,

I haven't used this so I can't actually give it a recommendation, but I

thought it ought to be included for completeness sake since it is the only

one I'm aware of for the Linux operating system:

http://freshmeat.net/projects/nut/?topic_id=266

Description:

nut 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 14, which contains 6,039 foods. This

database contains values for calories, protein, carbohydrates, fiber, total

fat, etc.; vitamins A, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, B6,

etc.; minerals calcium, copper, iron etc.; as well as the omega-6 and

omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Nutrient levels are expressed as a

percentage of the Daily Value, which comprise Reference Daily Intake and

Daily Reference Values, the familiar standard of food labeling in the United

States.

Thanks for all your efforts.
