NutriBase Clinical & Network for ProfessionalsNutriBase EZ for NovicesNutriBase Junior, Personal, & Personal Plus for Individuals

CyberSoft releases free updates to the NutriBase series of nutrition managers. Each update fixes all the bugs reported by NutriBase users up to the release date of each update. The following is a record of the NutriBase updates we've released this century.

v.7.17, December 17, 2007 Fixed the Quick Summary report and %Goal report to show adjusted goals when necessary. Added prompt to recommands adding a gram weight when user saves a PFI without a gram weight value (makes recipe gram weight totals accurate and makes conversions to other units work better). Added warning to not change a gram weight, serving size or serving unit on an existing PFI (since this will be reflecting in all recipes, meal, meal plans, etc. that use that PFI)

v.7.16, October 17, 2007 Fixed an "Internal Error #700" error that occurs when the user uses the "Advanced Search" method to add a food item to a recipe, intake, PFI, etc. from the database.

v.7.15, September 27, 2007 We fixed a bug that occurred when user performs a global ranking search that locates over 500 hits, then scrolls through the entire list.

v.7.14, June 26, 2007 When modifying a client's data who is using the 24 hour standard: We fixed a bug that occurred when the user modified client data while using the 24-hour method of tracking calorie intakes vs. calorie expenditures.

v.7.13, May 14, 2007 We updated the Analyze program with several changes regarding Intake-Only clients in Client Groups and Group Study Reports. We also fixed a bug in the Intake Manager (Clinical and higher editions only).

v.7.12, April 4, 2007 When the user clicks the Search button on the intake recorder, the Search window text is now already highlighted so that the user can simply type without having to first put the focus on the edit box. We fixed a bug in the Quotes/Tips display on the Client Information Window. We also fixed a bug in the Quick Summary Report when the user has selected flexible goals. Our setup program now installs NutriBase with Vista users in mind.

v.7.11, March 16, 2007 The PFI Manager now allows 8 decimal places in all nutrient fields to accommodate larger serving sizes (often used in manufacturing formulas). When creating new Personal Food Items, the PFI window now allows you to click the Enter key to move to next field (easier than using the Tab key). Focus is set to the list of PFI's, Recipes or Meals when the respective manager is active so user can immediately scroll through items. We optimized certain windows to display better under Vista.

v.7.10, February 25, 2007 This update makes NB7 Vista-compatible. We also fixed a bug in the costing function for recipes. (Vista does not support the WinHelp format used in NutriBase, but they say that they will have a WinHelp patch available for download in "early 2007." We will announce the availability of this download when Microsoft makes this available.)

v.7.09, February 11, 2007 Calculations for Body Fat Content values used in web-based (SE Edition) questionnaires are now calculated using our updated formulas. Users are now able to print a client information report containing client contact information (Clinical and higher editions). Fixed a bug in the Palm PDA HotsSync that sometimes caused serving sizes to change.

v.7.08, February 6, 2007 This version adds a new Setup Tab in the Analyze Program (for Junior, Personal, and Personal Plus Editions) for appropriate formatted reports for consumer versions. Daily intake reports, summary intake reports, and recipes reports now allow users to adjust column widths to accommodate the wider column headers used in more detailed reports. Users can click the Save Button to save modified templates.

v.7.07, January 28, 2007 This update introduces automatic scheduled backups for you. Set NutriBase to offer backups by the number of days since the last backup or by day or days of the week. The updated Client Intake Module (Clinical and higher editions) now supports the Advanced Search option.

v.7.06, January 21, 2007 New "Advanced Search" option adds a powerful new way to locate foods. Users can now search multiple columns, select which columns to search, select Boolean OR (any criteria met) or AND (all criteria met), select which food categories and subcategories to conduct the search across, and select the type of data to search. All hits are listed together, regardless of food category. This version now automatically closes the Single Screen Summary window immediately after the user adds the selected item to a recipe, meal, intake, etc. Also fixed a bug that occurred for some users when they were adding a recipe to an intake or another recipe from the Recipe Tab of the Search window.

v.7.05, January 10, 2007 This version fixes an installation bug that caused the NB7 Meal Plan application to fail to overwrite the NB6 Meal Plan if the user had updated to v.6.23 version just before upgrading (this is a rare occurrence). This version also prevents the renaming of your Flash Drive when you are making a backup of NutriBase Diet Software.

v.7.04, January 2, 2007 We fixed a minor bug that occurred when user's sort individual columns of data by clicking the column headers... now that NutriBase used color-coded backgrounds to indicate the source of the data, it became necessary to refresh the background colors after on-thy-fly column sorts. We also added a legend in all nutrient data displays to indicate source colors (since they vary with user's Windows color preferences).

v.7.03, December 22, 2006 NutriBase (Clinical and higher editions) will display custom generated HTML in your browser now.

v.7.02, December 11, 2006 Users can now use Save and SaveAs functions for modifying any existing DRI goals.

Rewrote the way the Palm application functions. Some users were losing data during the selection and transfer phase. Now, when a user selects to add food items in a category by clicking the "Add" button; all selected items are saved to file. When the user clicks to "Save", these food items are transferred to the user's Palm database. If an error occurs during this database creation phase, no food item information is lost.

When users generate an HTML initial assessment report (Clinical and higher editions), NutriBase now displays the page in your browser. You can then click File | Save to save the file for actual use on your web site. For Clinical and higher editions, we changed the way nutrient goals are calculated if 1/3 or 2/3 DRI were selected. Previously these calculations only affected actual DRI nutrient values; now calculations also affect calories, protein, carbs, fat and sat fat goals.

v.7.01, November 18, 2006 Tweaked the Fitness Manager to remember when user has acknowledge changes to fitness formulas (a minor but annoying bug).

v.7.0, October 18, 2006 - NUTRIBASE 7 IS RELEASED. This new version features the latest USDA Nutrient Database, the 2005 Canadian Nutrient Files, and thousands of updates to the brand name and restaurant food items. Over 85% of the data has been replaced, retired, updated, or is new. NB7 now tracks the nutrient information for 37,138 unique food items.

NB7 now supports password protection. You can require a password to start NutriBase.

NB7 (Clinical and higher editions) captures your company name (or your own name) for use as a "macro" (an automatic placeholder) in your Assessment Reports.

If you are using the XP look, you will notice an improvement in the way NB7 looks.

Convert recipes into PFI's (Personal Food items). Users can now convert their recipes into PFI's. This permits all your frequently used foods and recipes to be organized together. It also allows you to transfer your recipes (as PFI's) to your Palm PDA.

Source Codes added (Cliincial and higher editions). This version adds "Source Codes" to identify where the nutrient data for specific foods come from (SR = USDA SR Data, CN = Canadian Nutrient File, BN = NutriBase Brand Name foods).

Color-Code Backgrounds. To facilitate instant recognition of sources for data displayed in the spreadsheet view, the background color for USDA and CNF data is white. The background color for Brand Name foods is light gray. (NutriBase is the only high-end nutrition software package that can display the data for more than one food item at a time, so this feature is irrelevant to competing products.)

You can now include NutriBase ID Numbers in your reports (Clinical and higher editions). NutriBase ID Numbers are unique identifiers for each food item in the database. The USDA items follow the precedents established by the Nutrient Data Laboratory's Nutrient DataBank numbers and the Canadian Nutrient File data follows the numbering system established by Health Canada.

NB7 now supports a new option for calculating calorie requirements by supporting the EER (Estimated Energy Requirements). You can set this method as your preferred method for calculating calorie requirements if you like. (You also have Harris Benedict, Mifflin St. Jeor, and direct entry from an indirect calorimeter to choose from.)

Client Notes are now selected and edited through a calendar interface... no more opening a note and reopening a note to edit a different day.

The Intake Window now provides left and right arrows for quickly changing the day you are recording your intake to.

NB7 now displays NutriBase Tips, Dieting Tips, and Quotes. You can select which option you prefer via your Prefs. You can also edit these features as desired. You can copy any displayed item to the Windows Clipboard by clicking the new Copy Button on the display window.

If a user's age is changed in the Modify User Information section, NutriBase prompts to recalculate maximum heart rates. User's can easily modify their resting heart rate and maximum heart rates via a new Modify User Information Calc Button at the bottom of the Log On window.

If a user's name is changed in Modify User Information, NutriBase now prompts you to modify their Salutation Name in the Client Contact List.

The PFI Window is now automatically closed after adding the PFI to an intake, recipe, or meal.

NB7 added a Copy to Windows Clipboard option to facilitate the use of this informative window in your documents and reports.


v.6.23, July 30, 2006 Added network restore capabilities for NutriBase Network Editions. Only the Master User has this ability.

v.6.22, June 23, 2006 Changed the way NutriBase behaves when you add a recipe to another recipe, to an intake or to a meal. Henceforth, when you add a specific amount, say, 4 oz or 200 grams of a recipe, it will always remain 4 oz (or 200 grams) regardless of any modifications you make to the original recipe. This allows recipes that contain nested recipes to remain stable, at least from a serving size perspective. Adding a non-specific serving size such as "1 serving" still changes subsequent recipes if you modify the original recipe. This feature was requested by food manufacturers who use NutriBase for their product formulations.

v.6.21, May 17, 2006 Added the ability to resize PFI nutrients window.

v.6.20, April 18, 2006 Fixed a bug that occurred when a Success Criteria sort was set up and selected and the Client Window was set in Prefs to not appear. NutriBase gave an error saying, "Unable to open client intake file". This is no longer an issue.

v.6.19, April 13, 2006 Added the option for selecting "Daily Intake Calories - Daily Exercise Calories are equal to or less than the Daily Calorie Allotment" as a measurement for any user's Success Criteria.

Added the ability to select Daily Exercise Calories Goal as a component of the user's Success Criteria.

Fixed an intermittent bug that occurred when editing recipe ingredients. The primary symptom of this bug was an error message saying the "A component named viewedit Dlg already exists" and NutriBase had to be restarted.

v.6.18, March 3, 2006 Added a "Client Information" report to the Fitness Manager report option.

v.6.17, February 23, 2006 Fixed a bug that caused a mismatch in information between the Client's Goal Summary and the Client Information Windows when using the Metric Measurement option instead of the English system.

v.6.16, February 16, 2006 Fixed a bug that prevented the Analyze Program from working with Meal Plans that contained no recipes (a very rare occurrence). The following changes affect Clinical and higher editions only. We added 900+ Commercial Ingredients to the Clinical and higher editions. The word processor style recipe reports now include pre and post yield weights. We modified the Processing Loss feature in recipes as follows: When users increase or decrease yield loss for a recipe, the serving size no longer changes. Instead, the number of servings from the recipe will increase or decrease as necessary.

v.6.16, February 8, 2006 These changes affect Clinical and higher editions only. This version adds the ability to edit and add an allergen statement to your Nutrition Facts Labels. This version also supports the review and editing of the ingredient listing prior to creating your Nutrition Facts Label.

v.6.14, January 27, 2006 NutriBase now handles ingredients for "nested" recipes"... recipes that include other recipes as ingredients into the shopping list. Ingredients nested as deep as three recipe (that is, you can handle a recipe that contains a recipe that contains another recipe in it) are now accounted for in reports and shopping lists.

v.6.13, November 12, 2005 Added a flexible report option and enhanced an existing flexible report template format.

v.6.12, December 21, 2005 "My Fields" data (nutrient data fields you have added for NutriBase to track) is now incorporated into recipes and meals.

v.6.11, November 20, 2005 When you add an existing recipe to another recipe, you can now add it by specifying the number of servings, by gram weight, or by ounces. (Previously, you had to add the entire recipe to another recipe.)This version also fixes a bug that shut down the setup program when no costing data had yet been saved.

v.6.10, November 17, 2005 We fixed the goals graph under the Intake Manager to retrieve special abbreviated nutrients labels.

We enhanced the formatted reports to show the PCFA ratio when appropriate; the Percent of Goals report comments now expand if it requires more than one line.

Fixed Junior version showing wrong nutrients when displaying All Nutrients in the Intake Manager.

Bug fixes to the Analyze consumer versions.

v.6.09, September 1, 2005 This version of NutriBase features a newly updated 40-30-30 "Zone" Meal Plan.

v.6.08, August 18, 2005 This version of NutriBase features an updated Intake Module (Clinical and higher editions). The NutriBase intake Module now includes a My Foods Database - a database of frequently used food items that helps your clients record their food intakes more quickly and accurately.

v.6.07, July 28, 2005 We fixed a bug in the PDASetup.

v.6.06, July 17, 2005 Revised Pyramid Reports to reflect the recently updated pyramid guidelines.

v.6.05, June 31, 2005 Added 20 new macros for the additional nutrient values you can now track using the NutriBase My Fields feature (the ability to track up to 20 additional nutrients that NutriBase does not currently track).

Updated the Backup and Restore functions to make the new, more efficient method compatible with the previous backup/restore routines.

v.6.04, June 18, 2005 Added new customization macros for recipe, meal, and assessment reports to accommodate the new nutrients tracked in NB6. (This update pertains to Clinical and higher editions only.)

Added customization macros for listing recipe ingredients without the serving amounts listed - in both upper and lower case.

v.6.03, June 18, 2005 If you are using NutriBase Junior, Personal, Personal Plus, Clinical, or any of the Network Editions, this version allows you to track up to 20 additional nutrients. We call them "additional nutrients" because they are nutrients that are not already tracked in NutriBase Diet Software.

The NutriBase word processor, in Clinical and higher editions, will now remember your margin settings for top, bottom, left and right margins.

We modified the Backup and Restore feature to reduce the size of backups significantly.

Updated 40,000+ values for Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids.

Added a message that appears when you have over 500 PFI's and you've set up only one PFI Folder... this message suggests you better organize your PFI's by setting up and making use of your PFI Folders.

Fixed all know bugs reported as of June 18, 2005.

v.6.02, May 10, 2005 This update vastly simplifies the importation of Meal Plans by letting you create Recipe Folders on the fly as you import.

Fixed a bug that occurred when the user cancels out of the option to Save recorded information while exiting NutriBase Diet Software.

v.6.01, April 30, 2005 For professional versions of NutriBase, this update provides an updated Nutrition Facts Label (NFL) capability. You can dynamically resize NFL's using your mouse or by specifying dimensions. You can save labels as BMP, JPG, WMF or PDF formats. You can edit the nutrient values that will appear in your NFL prior to creating the label.

We fixed the duplication feature on the Intake Manager which erroneously indicated the meal or snack that the duplicated item was assigned to (duplicated items should not be assigned to any meal or snack).

When a user modifies a Client's Information, pregnancy calories - when applicable - now reflect what was originally set up rather than the initial default value.

We fixed a bug in the Analyze Program that prevented the PCF Ratio for a single day in a Meal Plan Formatted Report from appearing.

We fixed a bug in the Analyze Program that prevented the PCF Ratio for a single day in a Meal Plan Formatted Report from appearing.

NutriBase now checks for deleted Client Specific Foods (CSF's) that were used in previous editions of the NutriBase Intake Module. It turns out that one documented user was creating CSF's, adding them to their intakes, then deleting them. We modified NutriBase to recover the deleted data (to prevent corruption to the recorded food logs) then removed the ability for users to delete CSF's.

Under Client Notes, we added a glyph on the calendar days for Client Specific Days only for the days that notes existed for.

v.6.0, April 8, 2005 - NUTRIBASE 6 IS RELEASED. This new version features the latest USDA Nutrient Database (SR17), the latest Canadian Nutrient Files, and thousands of updates to the brand name and restaurant food items. NB6 tracks 37,000+ unique food items. This version gives you the ability to locate SR17 food items by their Nutrient DataBank numbers.

NB6 now tracks estimated net carbohydrates.

You can generate shopping lists directly from Meal Plans.

We added a pop-up abbreviation listing that you can access whenever nutrient data is displayed.

We organized our Nutrient Selection List into more logical groupings.

PCF pie charts have been upgraded to become PCFA pie charts.

We implemented a new memory manager which allows for better allocation of resources and improves the performance of the NutriBase search engine - the fastest PC-based search engine in existence.

The new Personal Plus Edition provides support for RDA's, the Canadian RNI's, and the US/Canadian DRI's. (This feature is not incorporated into the Junior or Personal Editions since these versions don't track vitamins or minerals - the heart and soul of the RDA, RNI, and DRI's.)

In the professional editions, we've added a completely rewritten version of the NutriBase Intake Module that is much easier for your clients to use, uses pictorial help, requires no manual, and is only 5.5 Mbytes in size, making it half of its original size so that your clients can download the program more conveniently from your web site.

We've added new Nutrition Facts Label formats to cover trans fats, polyunsaturated, and monounsaturated fats. You have the ability to generate Nutrition Facts Labels in Windows Metafile Format (WFM) for high quality, resizeable vector-based output.

We provide improved control over decimal places in formatted reports.

Client Notes are now general, client specific, and client day specific.


v.5.19, February 28, 2005 This final release of NB5 fixes a minor bug that occurred when a client that had been using the "estimated activity level" method of tracking daily calories, switches to use the "24-hour activity" method. Sometimes exercise calories from the previous method were not cleared out and were displayed in the Goal Summary window.

v.5.18, November 17, 2004 This edition includes updates and refinements to the Formatted Reports that you can generate using the Analyze Program.

v.5.17, September 8, 2004 We added the ability to specify your serving sizes in recipes in ounces as well as in grams or by number of servings.

v.5.16, August 9, 2004 This version adds the ability for users to export "Intake-Only" clients' data for Group Studies to a format suitable for use with Excel and statistical programs. We also added the ability to list food items or individual recipes for your Meal Plans.

v.5.15, August 2, 2004 You can now enter servings sizes by specifying the serving size gram weight (as well as by entering the number or servings in the recipe). Added a "loading recipes" window that counts the recipes as they load. Added a "finding recipe number" screen when saving a recipe to show progression. We added detailed error messages if Windows cannot run any NutriBase component. Fixed a minor bug in the recipe scale function.

v.5.14, July 23, 2004 This version adds a "Start of Week" box to the Meal Plan Single Day Detailed Report. If you have selected to show "Day Names" on the report, then the day name shown will key off of this day (so you don't have the same start date for every report).

v.5.13, June 23, 2004 This release contains three new "Mr. America" body building meal plans. These plans were designed in cooperation with Dave Barry (Mr. America 1990 and Mr. USA 1999). Each new meal plan contains three meals and three snacks per day for four weeks. Each of the three plans comes in eight calorie levels. Plans include a core plan, a high protein plan and a pre-competition plan.

v.5.12, June 9, 2004 This update adds the ability to override the automatic selection of the AEA (Average Energy Allowance)Tables for children under 18. This allows you to select the age-appropriate RDA, DRI or custom nutrient goal for children.

v.5.11, June 5, 2004 The NutriBase Information Tracker now supports an additional tracker option for diabetics. Users can customize the tracker items to suit their particular tracking needs.

v.5.1, May 24, 2004 This version of NutriBase supports the new optimized meal plan format. In fact, this new version comes with eight meal plans (at eight calorie levels). Previously, you imported each calorie level separately. This caused eight different copies of each recipe to appear in the Recipe Manager. This new version is optimized to import all eight calories levels at once and share the recipes across all calorie levels. This improved performance and eliminates the need to delete redundant recipes. We also released a free Meal Plan Manager update for NutriBase IV users so they can import these new, optimized meal plans too.

v.5.08, April 23, 2004 Added an exclusion search capability to Recipe Search. This allows users to locate all recipes containing a given food item(s) but exclude recipes that include a certain food. This is useful, for instance, if you need to locate all recipes that contain egg but do not contain peanuts (or other allergens).

v.5.07, April 21, 2004 Added the Process Loss feature to the NutriBase Recipe Manager so that users will be able to adjust for process loss during cooking.

v.5.06, April 19, 2004 Modified the client log-on screen to prevented nursing and pregnancy calories from not actually clearing when cleared (after first being selected).

v.5.05, April 17, 2004 Added the correct "goal restart dates" to the Client Manager and the Analyze Program for correct display on-screen and in custom reports.

v.5.04, April 15, 2004 Modified the Body Fat Percentage tracking graph to restart from newly modified start dates when the user modifies her body fat/weight goals.

v.5.03, April 13, 2004 Fixed a couple of display places to show a client's new modified log on start date instead of their "old" start date.

v.5.02, April 11, 2004 Recipe gram weights are now highlighted in a boldfaced navy blue font. Users were emailing support frequently to find out where this data was displayed on the Recipe Manager window.

v.5.01, March 9, 2004 This first update to NutriBase 5 provides the ability to toggle the weight (or body fat) chart from 3D to 2D.

Users now have control over the colors used in the Client Information Windows (they can control chart and default indicator colors for graphs and calendar). Both of these options are accessed by a right-mouse click to the weight chart.

The database has been updated and we added a number of exchange values.

The Palm application has been updated to prevent certain rare but possible situations from causing grief. Two minor bugs have been fixed.

v.5.0, February 7, 2004 - NUTRIBASE 5 IS RELEASED Today, we sold the last copy of NutriBase IV. This version is free to NB4 users who purchased within 60 days of this release date. You can learn more about our update/upgrade policy on this web site.

The new version 5.0 provides support for recording food intakes and exercises on the Palm PDA. Also added a column to the Intake Manager to indicate which meal or snack each food item is assigned to.


v.4.72, July 30, 2003 This final update to NutriBase 4 features several enhancements to the recently added Formatted Reports. All Formatted Reports now open maximized and set to be displayed full-screen. A new, detailed single-day Meal Plan report has been added.

v.4.71, June 5, 2003 This update adds an email option to NutriBase Backups... now, you can email your backups to yourself (for use on a different PC at home, perhaps) or to anyone else.

We've added new recipe setup macros that give you added flexibility to your custom recipe formats (Clinical and higher editions).

We've added the ability to restrict your nutrient ranking functions to 100 gram servings sizes - the most common serving size in NutriBase.

You can now edit recipe ingredient names and comments (these show up in recipe and analysis reports).

We now take body fat values out to one decimal place.

We've added the Injury Factor (also referred to as the Stress Factor) to your calorie calculations.

We also offer free Meal Plans, each at eight different calorie levels. Fixed a bug in the under/over setup grid, in the Planner, and in the Client Group Analysis features. All bugs reported through June 5, 2003 have been fixed.

v.4.7, March 27, 2003 This new version provides updated food exchanges and new exchange values for restaurant foods.

This version offers a new calorie calculation formula - the Mifflin St. Jeor formula.

We added completely new Formatted Report capabilities,

We added a dozen new Nutrition Facts Label formats.

You now have the ability to email your PFI's to CyberSoft for consideration for addition to the nutrient database.

This update gives you the ability to automatically merge ingredients in Nutrition Facts Labels in descending order of gram weight.

v.4.69, January 9, 2003 Added the ability for all NutriBase network versions to use a non-Windows folder for reading and writing INI (initialization) and USR (user information) files for improved network security.

Fixed a bug in the column sort in the Nutrient Density View. Problem occurred on column sorts conducted after the first column sort.

Fixed a bug in Fitness Manager that gave an error message when deleting a workout. The Intake Manager gave incorrect data when the user changed days using the calendar within the Intake Manager i.e. clicking on the calendar button on the Intake Manager window rather than the main NutriBase toolbar.

Fixed a Meal Plan bug that affected meal plans exported when they contained NutriBase Meals in them.

All bugs reported through January 9, 2003 have been fixed.

v.4.65, November 20, 2002 Two new recipe macros have been added.

The Network Editions can now store user data and preferences on a floppy diskette (improves network security and allows customization features to travel with the user).

v.4.64, October 28, 2002 This update adds the ability for you to save your Nutrition Facts Labels as either a BMP or JPG Format. (JPG is web-friendly; BMP is document-friendly.)

This version also provides a new type of Meal Plan report that lists the foods eaten by meal or snack for one week at a time.

You can now cherry-pick or select a range of food items when you are exporting nutrient data.

The Intake Module now displays calorie and exchange information.

The Intake Module now never expires.

v.4.6, October 14, 2002The Nutrient Density View. This version introduces the ND View for database, PFI's, recipes and meals. The Nutrient Density View will show you the nutrients for any given number of calories. And this gives you an "apples-to-apples" comparison of the nutrient value for all the foods you are viewing. (Instead of comparing the nutrients in a strawberry with the nutrients in a watermelon, you can now compare 100 kcal of strawberry with 100 kcal of watermelon).

Ability to rank columns while in the Nutrient Density View. You can click the sort box in the upper right corner of every column header to rank all foods based on that column while you are viewing the nutrient information in the Nutrient Density View.

Under/Over report capability. Now NutriBase (Clinical and higher editions) can auto-insert comments (that you create and/or edit) into your intake analysis report when a client is under or over any goal for any nutrient. These comments appear when you generate your analysis reports. Typically, "under" comments suggest good sources of the nutrient you are deficient in and "over" comments provide safe upper limit information.

24 Hour Exercise Tracking. Now you can track your 24-hour activity and exercise calories separately from your 24-hour food intake. This results in a direct comparison of calories burned with calories eaten, and this results in a calorie surplus or deficit.

Adding foods to Personal Food Item (PFI) List now prompts for serving size. This means that you can now save PFI's (new food items you've added to the database) in the serving size you use most often as opposed to the serving size you located information for.

Track Monitored Exercises. This feature lets you take the calories (and other information) provided by monitored exercise machines (like programmable treadmills or heart rate monitors) and enter in the results. Now, if your treadmill changes inclination and/or speed over the duration of the exercise, you can still enter a good estimate of calories burned.

Right-Mouse-click for spreadsheet view. This lets you select what you want to do with the selected food item... makes recording intakes, meals, recipes, etc. even faster.

Wider Gram Weight Entry Range. This version has a wider gram weight range (instead of 1- 999 grams, you can now enter gram weights of from 1-9999 grams).

Support for Indirect Calorimeters. If you use a portable indirect calorimeter or similar device for obtaining your resting metabolic rate, you can enter that into NutriBase now.

PFI, Recipe, and Meal Managers now have resizable notebooks. Now, you can make these windows taller to view more of your PFI's, Recipes, and Meals at once.

% Daily Value Button added for Recipes and Meals. Clicking this button shows you the %DV for your recipe or meal.

v.4.5, June 25, 2002 This major update introduces the NutriBase Intake Module (Clinical Editions and higher), which allows you to burn a CD to give to your clients. They take the software home, install it on their PC, and record their own food intakes. They can add their own personal foods to the 37,000+ food item database that the Intake Module already provides. A click of a button emails the results to you for analysis.

This new version also adds a pie chart to the Personal Food Item Manager and includes a BMI Button in the Client Log-on window, the Client Information Window, and the Information Tracker.

The nutrient database was updated with the addition of 500+ new food entries. Exchange values for 5,300+ foods were updated or added.

All bugs reported through June 25, 2002 have been fixed, including a bug that prevented the Food Pyramid image from appearing on the reports of some users.

v.4.04, March 4, 2002 This update adds two graphing options to the Graphical Analysis section of the Analyze Program: the ability to track any single nutrient against body weight and the ability to track any nutrient (or nutrients) over time.

For NutriBase Clinical and higher editions, this update allows you to record intakes to individuals without having to first log them on as clients. This saves time when you need to analyze intakes for large numbers of individuals and have no need to compare these intakes to nutrient goals (RDA's, DRI's, RNI's, etc.). These clients are identified by an ID Number. You may add an option name and/or comment if desired. Support for individual and group analyses of these types of clients plus the ability to save these analyses in spreadsheet format has also been added.

Fixed a minor typographical error that occurred when the user logged on in English measurements, then changed to metric at a later time.

v.3.04, April 16, 2001 This edition adds the Client Information Window to NutriBase. This window (which you can toggle "on" or "off" in your User Preferences), displays a color-coded calendar that shows you a "snapshot" of how your client (or you) are doing. It also provides a Progress Chart and a 3-D Weight Chart that indicates desired and actual body weight. This window also provides calorie allotment and exercise calorie information. You can generate the popular client-specific Calorie Expenditures Report with a single click from this screen. This report takes client information into consideration and indicates how many calories you (or your client) would burn in performing any of 90 exercises for 30 minutes).

This update also allows you to restore the original values for all fitness and calorie calculation formulas.

We added the ability to restore your column heights and widths to the original factory values with a single click.

Click the sort button again to reverse the sort and view all your recipes, meals, or PFI's sorted from low-to-high.

Enabled drag and drop in the Intake Manager. You can also drag items from a Meal Plan into a Meal.

You can now batch print Assessment Reports, Calorie Expenditures Reports, and Client-Specific reports (Clinical and higher). This means you can select the clients you wish to generate reports for, tell NutriBase to automatically generate all the reports, then save them to a folder on your hard drive. It uses the client names as the file names for the saved reports. This option saves you time when you have to generate dozens (or hundreds or even thousands) of reports for your clients.

You can now export your Client Contact List into a format suitable for use with your email client. Import all or some of your client's information into Outlook to facilitate mass mailings to your clients.

Retired items do not appear during NutriBase searches to prevent you from selecting obsolete entries in new recipes, intakes, etc.).

All reported bugs have been fixed.
