NuTrak provides Food Database with Nutrition Facts. Add any Nutrient or Dietary Supplement.

The NuTrak Database is loaded from user selectable files called Nutrition Data Files. The concept of NDF's allows the user to tailor the database to include only those foods or dietary supplements he or she is interested in. It also allows us to easily update manufacture's facts and offer information for new lines of foods or supplements as they become available. An example of available NDF's are

USDA17.ndf - USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, Release 17
USHG.ndf - USDA Nutritive Value of Foods, Home & Garden Bulleting Number 72
NSLEF.ndf - Life Extension Foundation Dietary Supplements

FastFood.ndf - Nutrition Facts from various popular fast food restaurants including Arby's, Burger King, Dairy Queen, KFC, Long John Silver's, McDonald's, Pizza Hut, Subway, Starbuck's Coffee and more

Cigarette.ndf - US Federal Trade Commission Report of Tar & Nicotine Content (Yes, you can even use NuTrak to help to stop smoking)

How it Works

1. To use NuTrak, you maintain a Journal of what your eat, what you do and the results or reactions. You can also build Goals of desired nutrient intake, exercise goals or results in terms of weights and measurements.

2, When making Journal Entries or building Goals, the user selects items from lists in the database. These lists include:

FOOD LIST (foods, beverages, supplements, drugs)
ACTIVITY LIST (excercise, sleeping, meditation, shopping ...)
RESULT LIST (current weight, headache, energy level, mood ...)
NUTRIENT LIST (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, herbs, drug chemicals ...)

3. The database is divided into two sections, My and Master. The Master section is a reservoir for building My Lists.
As items are selected from a Master List they are automatically copied to the corresponding My List. The user can
also add items to their lists by using the Add or Clone commands on the forms provided.

4. The Nutrient List is shared by all users. You can add an unlimited number of nutritional or chemical elements.
(ex. Vitamin E, Zinc, Ginko Biloba, Aspirin, Nicotine ...) .

5. Initially, making Journal Entries may seem like a tedious and frustrating activity. NuTrak does not claim to provide you with a list of all the foods you might consume. We have tried to make it easy to add your own foods from Nutrition Facts provided by package labels or restaurant brochures. Over time, your lists will contain most of what you consume and the journal process will become easier.

After a short learning curve you will see that the design of NuTrak is elegantly simple and easy to use.
