nutritiondata.com - which is based on the usda food database doesn't require registration... and allows you to find current data on pretty much any food.

most sites that require registration are handy to use because it allows you to track over time... a one off hit for something I can find by googling nutrition info caviar.. and it will give me results in seconds.

if I want to see why i was more successful 2 months ago than i am today - I can go back thru my online food diary and see what I was doing then vs what i'm doing now... and it keeps track of carbs/protein/fat/sodium anything I really want to track.

nutritiondata.com is, in my eyes, a big, heavy and rather slow website. Its too many page reloads, too many clicks, it is not optimized for the same job as the page i made.

It is probably great for tracking and such, but thats not what i want to achieve by this. Tracking should be (if/when i make it) a side-function. The point is that i quickly want to know what i get if i mix this and that. Nutritiondata.com doesnt quite give me that, im afraid.

It's what you want.

But is it what the masses want?

Only one way to find out :-) This is why i post here, to get some response from people outside my own country.

I tried a danish forum and with 211 votes it ended like this:

85 people would use it
122 people would recommend it
4 people doesnt find it useful

And only if a few people wants to use it, it is all fine. I'd just be happy to know that I gave those few a useful tool :-)

Who's your intended audience for this?

Is the nutrition listed in metric only?

I've been stuck outside of amsterdam for the past month and one of thethings that's drive me crazy - WHEN food has nutrition info posted on it... (not all does) it's based on 100 grams being a portion - the package might or might not be 100grams - sometimes it's less sometimes it's more...

Does your program do the actual math calcuation for you?

Anyone who wanted something simple, fast and easy-to-use.

Back when we only had Yahoo and Altavista (and numerous others), nobody knew that google would be 100 times more popular due to its simplicity. Its the same i wanted to achieve here (not in the same scale though :-P), i believe there is an audience for this type of tool, and time will tell if there are returning visitors :-)

At this time, yes - and good point. I should support other measures as well - thats just a little bit of math there - could easily be implemented.

Same as in Denmark, eventhough all food has to have nutrition info posted on it, before its legal to sell. And its always in 100 gram, but 1/3rd of the time they have "one portion, 75 gram, etc" posted as well. Eventhough i find it quite useless, because my portion size is usually different from my girlfriends portionsize. If i wanna determine the nutrition in something new, its up on the weight.

Im not quite sure i understand your last question, but ill try to explain what you do. When you add it to your menu, it defaults to 100 gr, and tells how many calories that is. When you chance how many grams you have eaten, it automatically adjusts the total of calories of the menu. You dont have to do any math yourself.

Oops I voted on the poll thinking it was abt the weight loss forumn and said yes i would use this utility; but I guess it was about something else..my bad...never vote before your read the whole thing...........

FW...I deleted your email address. I dont' believe its a good idea to post your email on a site that gets as much traffic as it gets. If you want someone to have your address, its much more wise to PM it....

I did the same thing.

i want the website link too.. can you please pm me?
