Nutrition Access

Editors' ReviewDownload.com staffSeptember 22, 2004This nutritional database helps users quickly find detailed information on more than 5,000 common foods, although it lacks printing features. Nutrition Access's basic interface lists foods in alphabetical order and displays the selected food's calorie content, total fat, cholesterol, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. One helpful feature is the ability to change calculations by adjusting portion sizes from the default 100 grams. Users can calculate the percentages of daily values based on weight in grams or switch to measurement by serving size. The search feature quickly locates a specific food from the reference database, or users can type the first few letters to jump to the matching entries. Reference material explaining the FDA-recommended daily values is included. This program lacks the ability to print or export information, but users wanting an easy way to obtain nutritional information will find this freeware application beneficial.
