Grey Olltwit's Calorie 2.5.118

Learning about nutrition and what our bodies need to function well, should be an important part of the learning process as soon as we are of an age to understand this. Too often we start to learn about nutrition and calorie intake when we find ourselves overweight and find it necessary to lose some. I hope this program will help students understand calorie intake and healthy eating, so that they are less likely to embark on a weight loss program in later life.

In this Calorie Counter program, students can enter simple information about themselves and keep a track of what they eat and what effect their current eating habits may have on their future. The program calculates how many calories they need to eat per day to hopefully reach or maintain their target weight. There is a database of just under 1,000 foods to help students see just what they are eating and what to avoid. Calorie Counter also allows them to keep a daily diary of their food intake and it can display a graph showing their progress.
