NUT
This software help you record what you eat and then analyzes
your
meals for nutrient levels in terms of the USDA "Daily Value" (the
standard for food labeling in the US).
Whilst this program is console based, it is completely
menu-driven
and there are therefore no commands for the user to learn.
The database included is the latest USDA Nutrient Database for
Standard Reference.
This database of food composition tables contains values for
calories, protein, carbohydrates, fiber, total fat, etc., and includes
all the nutrient data in the USDA database, including the Omega-6 and
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. Nutrient levels are expressed as a
percentage of the DV or Daily Value, the familiar standard of food
labeling in the United States. The essential fatty acids, Omega-6
and Omega-3, are not currently mentioned in these standards, and a
reference value has been supplied based on Dr. William Lands' empirical
equation for the percentages of Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids in
plasma phospholipids based on diet.

- 7538 foods and 143 nutrients (the complete, latest USDA
database)
