Question: Recipe Nutrition Analysis

March 23, 2010

I've used Nutricook for years to analyze recipes for Nutritional content but it is going away. Couldn't go wrong. Easy to use, easy to add ingredients, easy to cut and paste in ingredients, easy to export the data I needed, cheap ($50). What do people use to analyze recipes for nutritional content. I don't what a recipe manager, just an easy to use and cheap nutritional analyzer. Also, Nutricook was using the USDA database version 21 and many I've looked at are on version 16 or 19. Just need a cheap nutrition analizer.

Depending on the outcome you are hoping for, one of these may work for you.
The 3rd one down seems like it would do what you want.

Go to Bastyr University's website...bastyr.edu...and see if you can get ahold of anyone who can help you out. The university, located just outside Seattle, is one of the nation's premier university specializing in nutrition & naturalpathic education. They offer degrees in nutrition and areas like that. I think if you dug around a bit you could find someone who could help you with your problem. My suggestion is to go to the staff directory and contact one or more professors who teach nutrition and reach out to them.
