Personal

With this window selected, you can modify the name, age, height, weight, gender and activity level entered.

Changes (other than the name) will prompt the program to recalculate the nutrient recommendations. The overridden nutrient recommendation values, however, will stay the same unless you modify them directly from the recommendations screen (see Recommendations).

Recommendations

With this tab selected, you may modify or clear previously entered overrides or enter new recommendation overrides.

OVERRIDE CALCULATED VALUES

    • Enter the new values in the Override column. If you change the calories, the program will automatically recalculate calorie-dependent nutrients. All calculations and reports will use the override values you entered.

REVERT TO CALCULATED VALUES

    • Click the Delete Overrides button.

VIEW LIST OF ALL NUTRIENTS AVAILABLE IN THE PROGRAM

    • Check the Show All Nutrients box.

SET SOURCE OF CALORIES

    1. Click the Source of Calories button The default setting for the Protein/Carbohydrates/Fat (P/C/F) ratio is 17/55/28. You may need to modify this to fit individual needs.
    2. Type in the desired percentages. Note: The program will not allow you to continue if the percentages do not equal 100.
    3. Adjust the Saturated, Monounsaturated and Polyunsaturated fat values accordingly. They must equal the Fat value before the program will allow you to continue.

CALCULATE PROTEIN BASED ON WEIGHT, NOT CALORIE INTAKE
