Benefits Features

Comprehensive set of Databases and Tools

      

  • A Nutrition database contains 95% of the most common foods and beverages. The database has been edited so that you don’t have to page through 1500 entries for "Beef" or understand research terms like with some products. Download trial versions and see the difference.
  • The Nutrition database contains items from restaurants like McDonalds, Burger King, Domino’s Pizza, Marie Callender’s and popular brands like Kellogg’s, Kraft, Campbell’s and Budweiser.
  • Each Item in the Nutrition database provides the amount of calories, carbohydrates, fats and proteins based on data from the US Department of Agriculture.
  • An Activities database contains the most common exercises and household chores so that you can track calories burned.
  • Activities include over 100 strength training exercises making it the most complete database available for workouts.
