1983
Lowell, J.P. | Mechie, J.R.
Five dietary interactive programs for computers have been written based on the fourth edition of McCance and Widdowson's "The composition of foods", 1978. Three are calculation programs (DIET1, DAILYD, and EXCHNG) and 2 are information programs (DIETAD and INFOD1). In addition, recipes and foods (including products used in therapeutic diets have been included. DIET1 calculates the nutrient content of a meal, recipe or a list of foods; DAILYD calculates nutrient intake for a day, meal by meal; EXCHNG calculates the weights of any selected foods required to obtain any chosen weight of any selected nutrient; DIETAD gives the code numbers and nutrient composition of foods added; and INFOD1 gives the nutrient composition of any food on file. Program uses and an example using DIET1 are provided. (kbc)
