Here are some reasons for considering the NutriBase EZ Edition: 1. Quantity and quality of the Nutritional Information. NutriBase provides the nutrient information for 37,000+ food items. NutriBase provides the latest research quality nutrient data available. This nutrient data is thoroughly documented. This documentation provides a complete reference as to how the nutrient values were derived or what method was used to determine the value or potency of any nutrient value, including information for Minerals, Vitamins, and Proximates. The NutriBase EZ Edition provides access for up to 88 nutrients and nutrient factors, including food exchanges. Peruse the bibliography to check the references cited. 2. The NutriBase EZ Edition also includes nutrient data for hundreds of brand name foods and restaurant menu items. This data is not as thorough or as well-documented as the research quality nutrient database (food makers are not required to perform in-depth laboratory analyses of their products), but it serves as a guideline for pre-prepared and restaurant foods... it's the stuff so many of us eat more often than we'd like to admit. 3. NutriBase gives you a lot of control over the presentation of your nutrient data. Astonishing as it may seem, competing products only let you view the nutrient data from their nutrient database for one food item at a time. NutriBase lets you view nutrient data in a spreadsheet view to see the data for many food items at the same time. (The spreadsheet view is a tabular format of columns and rows.) Drag and drop column headers to resequence the columns. Drag the right edge of any column header to resize the column width (NutriBase remembers the new settings for you). You can click a button to view all the nutrient data for one food item in a single-screen view. 4. NutriBase has the ability to track and graph your percentage body fat content as well as body weight. This makes a variety of body fat measurement devices ideal companions to NutriBase software. Most experts agree that the best way to determine your ideal body weight is not by consulting a published body weight chart (most of which disagree with each other), but by accurately assessing your body fat content and comparing your value to established norms. We offer "regular" body fat calipers and digital body fat calipers at substantial discounts when you purchase them in combination with the NutriBase EZ Edition software. 5. NutriBase includes several hundred ready-to-use recipes for a variety of special needs, including Vegan, vegetarian, diabetic, healthy heart, hypertension, balanced weight loss, low carb weight loss, 40-30-30 weight loss, pre-competition body building, body building maintenance, and high-protein body building. NutriBase EZ lets you use any of the 88 included Meal Plans (eleven Meal Plans, each at eight calorie levels) and their associated 600+ recipes. A NutriBase Meal Plan is a collection of up to 168 meals and snacks (six meals a day for 4 weeks). Record these Meal Plans as your food intake (just select the Meal Plan you want to use and select the starting date - NutriBase fills in your Food Log for you for the next 4 weeks). 6. NutriBase provides support for indirect calorimeters. If you use a MedGem portable indirect calorimeter or similar device for obtaining your resting metabolic rate, you can enter RMR directly into NutriBase. NutriBase also accepts calorie expenditure inputs from programmable workout equipment. This feature lets you take the calories (and other information) provided by monitored exercise machines (like programmable treadmills or heart rate monitors) and enter in the results. Now, if your treadmill changes inclination and/or speed over the duration of the exercise, you can still enter a good estimate of calories burned. 7. NutriBase makes it easy to take your desktop "on the road" with you. If you need to move your NutriBase information back and forth between your desktop and notebook PC or between your work and home PC conveniently, quickly, and safely, NutriBase does it for you with just a few mouse clicks. Easily transfer all of your NutriBase data (user records, recipes, food logs, personal information - everything - between your desktop and notebook PC. To backup your data to a floppy (or any other media), click the Backup Icon and select the backup drive. To restore your data to your desktop or notebook PC, just click the Restore Button. That's all there is to it. 8. NutriBase provides two special food categories: "Vitamin and Mineral Supplements" and "Sports and Diet Nutritionals." The first category provides detailed information for the major off-the-shelf vitamin and mineral supplements. The Sports and Diet Nutritionals category includes nutrient data for 600+ food items that include exercise recovery drinks, power bars, body building shakes and formulas, and liquid meals. 9. NutriBase facilitates the creation of recipes. A "recipe" is a combination of food items and other recipes. For instance, a recipe could consist of water, seasonings, meat, vegetables and another recipe (like your "Low Sodium, Low-Fat Soup Stock"). You can add recipes as a recipe (one entry) or as a listing of the added recipe's ingredients. Recipes serve as building blocks for Meals. 10. NutriBase data is published in the most successful series of nutritional information books in bookstores today. The NutriBase Series of nutrient information books are published by the Avery Publishing Group. With over two million of these books in circulation, NutriBase data has earned a high degree of validity for its nutrient database. No other software package has published its nutrient data in a top-selling series of Nutritional information books. 11. Rank (sort) the nutrient database. A ranking is a method of sorting your data from high-to-low (or from low-to-high) based on its values for any nutrient or variable. Select a nutrient or variable. Select whether you wish to sort the food items from high-to-low or from high-to-low based on their value for the selected nutrient or variable. Click the OK Button. When the search results are displayed to the screen, note that the first nutrient column is the one you selected to rank. Note also that the food items are sorted by their value for the selected variable in either ascending or descending order as you specified. 12. Save inputting time by auto-recording a pre-determined list of foods that you want to automatically record each time you record any food item for a client. This way, each time you record an intake for a new day for a particular client, NutriBase will automatically record the foods you specified for that client. You can define an auto-record list for every client if you wish. 13. Support for Palm PDA's. With NutriBase EZ, you can transfer a nutrient database and exercise database to your Palm PDA's. Record your own food and exercise intakes for any period of time. When you HotSync your PDA to your PC, you'll transfer all your intake information to your copy of NutriBase for Windows... as if you had entered it on your PC. This makes your managing your nutrition even more portable than using a laptop. 14. NutriBase provides the nutrition software industry's best product support. We provide a toll free phone number for you to call with questions. You can use this toll free number for as long as you use NutriBase. (And remember, if you have to pay for the phone call - it isn't free.) Our tech support people can answer any question you can ask them about NutriBase quickly and concisely. We provide 24/7 email support for you to use any time to ask us anything you want to about NutriBase. 15. The NutriBase EZ Edition is derived from our highly acclaimed NutriBase Clinical Edition. Today's Dietitian Magazine (May 2002) said (of our Clinical Edition of NutriBase): "NutriBase is a dream come true... The program is detail oriented and offers almost unlimited capacity for customization... other programs can't compare... it does just about everything a dietitian could want." 16. Jordan Gold's ninth and latest book, "Get Fit with Technology: How to Lose Weight Using Your PC," provides information regarding over 30 nutrition software products. This book, says "NutriBase is much more powerful than competing products, with more reports, options, and bells and whistles than its competition... NutriBase is nutrition software on steroids." 17. And last - but not least - our 20,000+ customers like our product. Visit our testimonials page to see what they've told us about NutriBase. We could go on, but we think we've made our point. :-)
