Description
Nutrition Access dissplays detailed nutritional information for individual foods. The program includes a database of over 5,000 foods. Up to 29 values will be displayed for each food: ten vitamins, ten minerals, fiber, cholesterol, protein, carbohydrate, three types of fat, total fat, and total calories. The portion size can be adjusted and the nutrient content will be immediately recalculated. Percent Daily Values, as currently displayed on most food labels, can also be calculated and displayed.
Review
This nutritional database helps users quickly find detailed information on more than 5,000 common foods, although it lacks printing features. Nutrition Access's basic interface lists foods in alphabetical order and displays the selected food's calorie content, total fat, cholesterol, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. One helpful feature is the ability to change calculations by adjusting portion sizes from the default 100 grams. Users can calculate the percentages of daily values based on weight in grams or switch to measurement by serving size. The search feature quickly locates a specific food from the reference database, or users can type the first few letters to jump to the matching entries. Reference material explaining the FDA-recommended daily values is included. This program lacks the ability to print or export information, but users wanting an easy way to obtain nutritional information will find this freeware application beneficial.
