Your Guide to Healthy Eating…..

FOOD SMART is a wonderful resource for everyone interested in keeping track of their diet - for ANY reason. 

Diabetes Management

• Our 16 year old son, Chris, was diagnosed with diabetes eight years ago. A critical part of managing diabetes is following a daily food guide, weighing and measuring all food portions and ensuring that what you eat is what you should eat. Chris was so disappointed that some of his favorite meals were now an "unknown quantity". How could we determine the "food choice values" in a serving of his favorite lasagna, for instance?

I did some research and discovered a nutritional software program called FOOD SMART. I have been using it for the past three years and it is wonderful. You enter your recipe and the number of servings and the program calculates the CDA "food choice values". It is written in cooperation with the CDA and is very easy to use. FOOD SMART produces a report, showing nutrients, calorie and fat breakdown, as well as the CDA "food choice values". I print the recipe reports and keep them in a 3-ring binder.

No more guessing what certain recipes would equal in "food choice values".

Weight Loss Programs

• If you are, for example, on Weight Watchers, you just enter your favorite recipe and calculate the point value of one serving. It makes staying on track so easy.

General Nutrition

• If you are limiting your fat intake or increasing your fibre intake, FOOD SMART makes it super simple – and fun.
