Many diseases are caused by bad food habits, food components and unbalanced mixes. FoodWorks is a comprehensive program that will help you maintain your body health and avoid many diseases.
It will provide analysis of components of different food products. The program will allow you to have a perfect comprehensive database for your diet diary, meal plans, food records or recipes. All what you have to do is fill in the forms in each food database, and the program will analyze and calculate all components and percentages of nutrient, and then present it in simple tables to be easily understood and followed. One of the main features of the program is that it will illustrate the results and ratios through presenting them in simple graphical charts. FoodWorks also includes a "Query" option that analyzes different recipes from different countries around the world. Food components are analyzed in terms of protein, fats, sugar, carbohydrates, water, alcohol, energy, starch and many other components.
One of the main disadvantages of the program is that it blocks many important tabs in the trial version.
