Reviewing and Overriding Recommendations

The program calculates daily intake recommendations from the age, height, weight, gender and activity level entered in the first screen. The nutrients that appear on this screen are the default nutrient list created by the program.

OVERRIDE CALCULATED VALES

  If you change the value of calories, the program will ask you if you want to update calorie-dependent nutrients (appearing in blue). Select Yes for the program to automatically calculate updated values.
  
  If you change the value of fat, the program will ask you if you want to update fat-dependent nutrients (appearing in red). Select Yes for the program to automatically calculate updated values.
  
  All further calculations and reports will use the override values. Override values will appear in red on the Recommendations report and the Multi-Column report.
