DESCRIPTION:
The nutrition tool finds and displays nutrients in common food. Searches
are performed against an 8000 food USDA database and your own food
database if you choose to create one. Foods can be looked up by their description or brand
name. Up to 50 nutrients will
be displayed for each food, which include protein, carbohydrates,
fat, calories, minerals and vitamins.
To look up the nutrients in a food, enter one or more search words, then
click "Find" or press Enter. Enter full or partial
words, separated by a blank space. We recommend entering the
first three letters of each search word, and only using one or two
words. Do not use quotes. Searches are not case
sensitive. For a broad list of matches, enter a single word like
"red" (to find a list of red wines) or the first three letters
of a food name. To narrow the list of results, make your searches
more specific by using complete names or adding additional search terms.
For example, to look up the nutrients in an apple, you can search for
the word "apple". To make this search more specific, try
entering "apple raw skin" (with no quotes).
A list of matches
will appear in the "match list" drop-down menu below.
Matches are automatically sorted in alphabetical order. Search
results from the custom food database are preceded by the phrase
"CUSTOM FOOD". All other matches are from the
USDA food database. Select any item in the list to display a selection of food weights
(serving sizes) for that food. Choose a weight to display the nutrients for the specified food in the table
below. You can also specify your own weight in grams, using the
box labeled, "custom" on the right.
To narrow the list of search results, make your
searches more specific by using more key words. Enter each word, separated by a blank space. For
example, to look up the nutrients in an apple you can search for
"apple". To make this search more specific, try entering "apple
raw skin". Do not use quotes. A sample of what you will see is shown in the
table below. This table can be copied and pasted
into other Windows applications. Simply select the lines you want with the mouse, then press CTRL-C to copy
them to the clipboard.
Example: If your search for Raw Apple with Skin,
you will see results similar to the table shown below. For more
search results, just enter a single word such as "apple"
(without the quotes), or part of a word.
