| This page overviews the new features of NutriBase. We also have a page that provides a synopsis of what's unique about NutriBase.
NB8 features a totally rewritten, modern user interface. Access all functions via a tabbed window interface. Each tab contains all the functions required for the selected option... no more simultaneously open windows.
NB8 now includes its own, integrated email program. Use it to send screen images, recipes, meals, Personal Food Items, Meal Plans, etc. to share with other other NutriBase users.
With NB8, you can export your data and email it to a nutrition counselor who is using NB8 Professional or higher edition. Your couselor can import your data into his or her copy of NB8 Professional (or higher) and have a complete (and more comprehensive) record of your Food Log and exercise intakes.
You can import recipes, PFI's, meals, and meal plans by simply double-clicking on their file names.
The new configurable Quick Access Toolbar - similar to the one used in Microsoft Office - allows you to jump immediately to your most used functions.
A new NB8 report generator allows for new report formats. Save in RTF, PDF, and Excel formats. After you study the reports available, we invite you to mock up new reports you'd like to see and send them to us... if they look like reports more than one user would appreciate, we'll implement it.
The new graphics engine allows for very powerful and flexible effects and graph types. Study available options and suggest new ones... we'll add them to upcoming updates.
 Newly Updated Database. NutriBase 8 has been updated to the latest USDA SR data. It also provides the latest Canadian Nutrient Files and provides thousands of updated or new brand name and restaurant entries. NB8 tracks the nutrient information for 37,000+ unique food items.
NutriBase supports password protection. If desired, you can require a password to start NutriBase.
Convert recipes into PFI's. Users can now convert their recipes into PFI's. This permits all your frequently used foods and recipes to be organized together.
Source Codes added. 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).
NB8 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.)
NB8 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 name is changed in Modify User Information, NutriBase now prompts you to modify their Salutation Name in the Client Contact List.
The new integrated Backup and Restore function now allows you to determine the destination backup folder for backups. Backup to USB Flash Drives, any hard drive, or a hard out on your network. Optionally, you can email your backup to your colleagues (or to yourself).
You can search for USDA SR food items by their USDA Nutrient DataBank numbers. If you want to look up food items based on the NDB numbers issued by the USDA, NutriBase now supports this. We've added a new tab to the Search function for you to use to access this feature.
Calorie Sources PCF (Protein-Carbs-Fat) pie charts have been replaced with PCFA (Protein-Carbs-Fat- Alcohol) pie charts. In previous editions, we presented pie charts that indicated the Percent Calories from Protein, Carbohydrates, and Fat. Some users were asking us why their charts weren't adding up to 100%. The reason was that they were consuming alcohol, some in very large quantities. We added Alcohol to pie charts to account for that fourth source of calories in human "nutrition."
NB8 supports Windows Metafile format. You have the ability to generate Nutrition Facts Labels in Windows Metafile Format (WFM) for high quality, resizeable vector-based output. We also now support labels with trans fats, monounsaturated fats and polyunsaturated fats. We also provide the ability for you to edit the values used in the label prior to printing.
NutriBase also provides a number of features that are unique in the nutrition and fitness software realm... check them out on our Unique Features page. |
