DIET ANALYSIS PLUS is the market-leading nutrition assessment program used by colleges and universities that allows students to create their own personal profiles based on height, weight, age, sex, and activity level. Its dynamic interface makes it easy for students to track the types and serving sizes of the foods they consume for up to seven days. Now including even more exciting features, the updated 6.1 version also includes the latest Dietary References, making it easy for students to calculate their RDA/DRIs, as well as their goal and actual percentages of essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals based on their personal profile. Students can use this information to adjust their diet and gain a better understanding of how nutrition relates to their personal health goals. Thoroughly revised and updated, the software is available online or on a Windows®-compatible CD-ROM. Both versions continue to provide practical and instructive features with a comprehensive database, making it a favorite among professors and students alike.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing Database, November 29, 2004

This review is from: Diet Analysis Plus, Version 6.1 (Windows CD-ROM) (CD-ROM)

I purchased this software because not only was it recommended by my school but because a fellow nutrition student recommended it. It has wonderful features for charting and graphing nutrient intakes, but its database is sorely lacking. I would expect that they would have included at least what is readily available in the USDA Nutrient Database, but the software doesn't even come close. For those who eat mostly whole foods, the software is practically useless, especially since it only allows the user to add up to thirty of his or her own entries into the database. All the charts and graphs in the world won't help if they don't accurately reflect what I've eaten! One would be better off using the free, online software at the USDA's website: http://209.48.219.53/.
