NUT Description

Free text user interface based nutrition software to record what you eat and analyze your meals for nutrient composition NUT records what you eat and analyzes your meals for nutrient levels in terms of the "Daily Value" or DV which is the standard for food labeling in the US. The NUT program uses the free food composition database from the USDA and is a free nutritional analysis software written for Unix systems.By experimenting, you can find the optimal level of the various nutrients and how to implement this with foods available to you. NUT can help reconstruct the lost instruction manual to your care and feeding because, when the authorities and crackpots disagree on the proper human diet, you can design an experiment using the food composition tables to discover the truth!The database included in NUT is the latest USDA Nutrient Database for Standard Reference.
