nut is nutrition software to record what you eat and analyze your meals for nutrient composition. The database included is the latest USDA Nutrient Database for Standard Reference. This database contains values for vitamins, minerals, fats, calories, protein, carbohydrates, fiber, etc., and includes the essential polyunsaturated fats, Omega-3 and Omega-6. Nutrient levels are expressed as a percentage of the Daily Value, the familiar standard of food labeling in the United States, but also can be fully customized. Foods can be added from recipes or food labels, and nutrient intake can be graphed. The program is completely menu-driven and there are no commands to learn.

Changes:
This release gives the user more control over
essential fatty acid values. The balance between
Omega-6 and Omega-3, as modeled by William Lands'
equation relating dietary intake to the ultimate
composition of cell membrane phospholipids, can
now be changed to favor more or less Omega-3, and
this relationship is shown on analysis screens.
The maximum allowable amount of EPA and DHA can
also be set. If this maximum is set low, the
program shows by how much Omega-6 would have to be
restricted in order to meet the target.
