Summary: Disappointing Database
Review: I purchased this software because not only was it recommended by my school but because a fellow nutrition student recommended it. It has wonderful features for charting and graphing nutrient intakes, but its database is sorely lacking. I would expect that they would have included at least what is readily available in the USDA Nutrient Database, but the software doesn't even come close. For those who eat mostly whole foods, the software is practically useless, especially since it only allows the user to add up to thirty of his or her own entries into the database. All the charts and graphs in the world won't help if they don't accurately reflect what I've eaten! One would be better off using the free, online software at the USDA's website: http://209.48.219.53/.
