the nutritional chart

Then click on add meal then click on add food and then click on adding foods to your list & just build up the list of the foods you eat the most. You then choose from these foods and add them to your meals and at the end of the day the computer analyses what vitamins/minerals/fat/protein/carbs etc. are in it & what your balance is like in what you are eating. At first I thought you'd get a prescribed diet but it doesn't seem to work like that. You list your food & the computer tells you the nutritional content. You choose from the list & I think to add your own more unusual foods you have to upgrade your membership but not sure as I've only got the basic. I hope this makes sense as I feel like I'm still learning myself. Fortyhall
