810.0. "Software Programs for Mgmt?" by MRKTNG::WEBER (Nancy Weber @TTB) Sat Jun 19 1993 01:24

    In a recent low-calorie (sorry the name currently eludes me) magazine
    there was an article on different software packages on the market for
    managing recipes, nutrition and exercise.
    
    Right now I actually own 3 of those packages. However, I find that they
    are not really meeting my needs in how I would like to manage my
    recipes and meal planning.
    
    My questions are: 
    
    1) Is anyone out there using any software packages (either on the
       market or home grown) to manage recipes, nutrition, exercise and
       meal planning?
    
    2) If yes, what ones and what do you like or dislike?
    
    3) Finally, have you heard of any programs that do this? If so what?
    
    Thanks,

    I believe the magazine in question was Cooking Light - they had a
    review (sort of) recently on recipe and nutrition management software.
    
    Can't help you with your question though; I can't remember the name of
    the software I used but it was geared more towards nutrition than
    cooking, which is the purpose I wanted it for (entering, storing, and
    retrieving recipes easily, calculating nutritional values etc), and it
    was very difficult to use for those purposes.  If I actually owned a
    computer I'd probably be looking at this sitaution more carefully.  :-)

810.2The Diet Balancer(R)SAHQ::WESLEYWed Jun 23 1993 20:197
    I have a software that I use called The Diet Balancer(R) from Nutridata
    Software.  I like it.  You can use it to enter your own recipes to
    calculate nutritional information.  It's very handy.  The 800 number to
    call Nutridata is 1-800-922-2988.

         The Healthy Choice web page, http://www.healthychoice.com, has a
    pointer to a program called Life Form.  A free demo is available.  The
    program allows you to track a wide variety of nutrition/exercise/medical 
    information.  Over the past month, it has made it easy to detect
    trouble spots.  Their food database is enormous with data on most of
    the foods that I eat (particularly healthy choice stuff).
    
         The demo doesn't run very long, but the retail version was
    available locally for less than the amount they ask for on the web.
