NutriBase 7 is the latest release of our top-selling nutrition and software package. Here are some key new features:

Newly Updated Database. NutriBase 7 has been updated to the latest USDA SR data. It also provides the latest Canadian Nutrient Files and provides thousands of updated or new brand name and restaurant entries. Over 85% of the data has been replaced, retired, updated, or is new. NB7 now tracks the nutrient information for 37,000+ unique food items.

NutriBase supports password protection. If desired, you can require a password to start NutriBase.

Convert recipes into PFI's. Users can now convert their recipes into PFI's. This permits all your frequently used foods and recipes to be organized together. It also allows you to transfer your recipes (as PFI's) to your Palm PDA.

Source Codes added. This version adds "Source Codes" to identify where the nutrient data for specific foods come from (SR = USDA SR Data, CN = Canadian Nutrient File, BN = NutriBase Brand Name foods).

Color-Code Backgrounds. To facilitate instant recognition of sources for data displayed in the spreadsheet view, the background color for USDA and CNF data is white. The background color for Brand Name foods is light gray. (NutriBase is the only high-end nutrition software package that can display the data for more than one food item at a time, so this feature is irrelevant to competing products.)

NB7 now supports a new option for calculating calorie requirements by supporting the EER (Estimated Energy Requirements). You can set this method as your preferred method for calculating calorie requirements if you like. (You also have Harris Benedict, Mifflin St. Jeor, and direct entry from an indirect calorimeter to choose from.)

Client Notes are now selected and edited through a calendar interface... no more opening a note and reopening a note to edit a different day.

The Intake Window now provides left and right arrows for quickly changing the day you are recording your intake to.

NB7 now displays NutriBase Tips, Dieting Tips, and Quotes. You can select which option you prefer via your Prefs. You can also edit these features as desired. You can copy any displayed item to the Windows Clipboard by clicking the new Copy Button on the display window.

If a user's age is changed in the Modify User Information section, NutriBase prompts to recalculate maximum heart rates. User's can easily modify their resting heart rate and maximum heart rates via a new Modify User Information Calc Button at the bottom of the Log On window.

Is a user's name is changed in Modify User Information, NutriBase now prompts you to modify their Salutation Name in the Client Contact List.

The PFI Window is now automatically closed after adding the PFI to an intake, recipe, or meal.

NB7 added a Copy to Windows Clipboard option to facilitate the use of this informative window in your documents and reports.

The new integrated Backup and Restore function now allows you to determine the destination backup folder for backups. Backup to USB Flash Drives, any hard drive, or a hard out on your network. Optionally, you can email your backup to your colleagues (or to yourself).

You can search for USDA SR food items by their USDA Nutrient DataBank numbers. If you want to look up food items based on the NDB numbers issued by the USDA, NutriBase now supports this. We've added a new tab to the Search function for you to use to access this feature.

PCF pie charts have been replaced by PCFA pie charts.

In previous editions, we presented pie charts that indicated the Percent Calories from Protein, Carbohydrates, and Fat. Some users were asking us why their charts weren't adding up to 100%. The reason was that they were consuming alcohol, some in very large quantities. We added Alcohol to pie charts to account for that fourth source of calories in human "nutrition."

You can generate shopping lists directly from Meal Plans. You no longer have to add foods from individual days. With NutriBase, you can add the foods from an entire Meal Plan to a shopping list.

NutriBase 6 supports Windows Metafile format. You have the ability to generate Nutrition Facts Labels in Windows Metafile Format (WFM) for high quality, resizeable vector-based output. We also now support labels with trans fats, monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats. We also provide the ability for you to edit the values used in the label prior to printing.

NutriBase also provides a number of features that are unique in the nutrition and fitness software realm... check them out on our Unique Features page.
