1987
Thompson, J.K. | Dwyer, J.T.
Extract: Computer-assisted menu planning was first implemented in the 1960s to reduce food costs and to improve the effectiveness of institutional food service operations. Advanced computer technology plus the knowledge gained from past research and experience have led to practical computer methods to help plan menus for patients who must follow therapeutic diets. Computerized spreadsheets can assist with individualized menu planning and assessment by greatly decreasing the time and tedium required to calculate specific nutrient content, by creating a mechanism for rapid and easy trial-and-error manipulation of data, and by increasing the degree of accuracy. Spreadsheets can be customized to accommodate patient food preferences and the nutrient and food group exchange values found in diet instruction material.(author)
