Comparing the Nutritional Value of Foods
Under the Tools menu is an option for “Compare Foods”. Choosing this option navigates the program to a display where two separate foods can be chosen from any categories, their portions changed and their nutritional values compared (shown below). (For best comparison, modify the portions of the chosen foods so that they comparable in portion size as necessary.) For each nutritional value, you can specify whether a higher or lower number is desired by clicking the higher/lower/ignore buttons between the two nutritional labels, making this tool helpful both for those who are trying to lose weight as well as those who are trying to gain weight. A check box will appear on the appropriate side next to the higher or lower value as specified and the difference between the two foods will be shown next to the higher/lower/ignore button.


A food comparison calculator may be accessed from the Tools menu. The
calculator shows nutritional value comparisons for two selected food items.
