40. Neither Food Processor SQL nor Nutritionist Pro have the ability to calculate, track and set goals based on body fat content.... so having the ability to measure body fat content would not be useful in the software.

Why buy NutriBase? There's a lot of information available to you on this web site. We understand that you may have another product in mind... one that you've heard good things about. One whose full page four-color ads you've been reading for years. Or maybe it's something that a friend or associate has recommended. But before you spend your money, we urge you to take a look at our concise list of reasons why NutriBase is your obvious choice.

I T E M	The Numbers <1>	NutriBase Clinical v.7.x	Food Processor SQL v.10.x	Nutritionist Pro	M O R E
13	Total number of nutrient information books published by the software maker.	over 3 million copies	?	?
14	Total number of nutrient information books in print based on the nutrient information published by the software maker.	Seven	?	?
15	Number of unique food entries in the nutrient database. Note: In NutriBase, you may locate five entries for say, "Granulated Sugar." - 100 gm, 1 tsp, 1 cube, 1 packet, and 1 cup. All five of these entries are counted as one unique food entry. Our actual food item listing features over 58,000 food items if you count the common serving sizes that we provide. To preserve an "apples-to-apples" comparison, we use the more conservative unique food number value in this chart.	37,160	29,000+	26,000+
16	Total number of unique brand names in the database	1,200	500+	500+
17	Total number of restaurants featured in the database	58	20+	20+
18	Total number of restaurant menu items	4,227	1,600+	?

Footnotes:
1. Some of these numbers were difficult to determine. FP-SQL and NPro cannot generate an alphabetically sorted list of the unique food names or brand names by food category. (NutriBase can generate these alphabetical listings and can then take you to the first occurrence of any food name or brand name in the list that you double-click on.)

2. NutriBase includes the Nutrient Databank Number which provides you with the identifying number used by the USDA to identify the foods in the research quality nutrient database. The nutrient factors for NB7 include eight calculated fields that provide the percent calories from protein, percent calories from carbohydrates, percent calories from total fat, andpercent calories from total alcohol plus the calories from protein, calories from carbohydrates, calories from total fat, and calories from total alcohol. In NutriBase, all eight of these fields are searchable - that is, NutriBase permits you to perform rankings and queries on these calculated columns. (You can, for example, rank all restaurant menu items from low-to-high based on their values for percent calories from fat.) At this time, neither Esha nor Axxya Systems publish (on their web sites) a listing of the nutrient factors that their products track.<back>

Footnotes:
3. Looking at the nutrient data one item at a time is like peeking at a huge nutrient database through a pinhole. This approach is cumbersome, inefficient, and clearly inadequate for today's sophisticated nutrient analysis requirements. Yet this is precisely how you view the live nutrient data (defined in footnote 8 below) with programs like FP-SQL and NPro... one food item at a time! NB7 supports food name searches, brand name searches, and the View, Rank, and Query functions. The results of all of these types of searches are always displayed in a tabular, spreadsheet format with as many as 40 columns of data for over 60 food items at a time (even more if you use a large monitor running at high resolutions). (If you want to view the nutrient data for a single food item, you can do that too - just double-click on any food item of interest.) <back>

6. The ability to flag missing values is a very important capability for many professional users. All of these programs include this capability to some degree. NutriBase flags and footnotes missing values in every report (the user has the option to disable this feature in the User Preferences section). FP-SQL indicates missing values for nutrients in two of their report types (by showing a "-" where the nutrient value would normally appear); FP-SQL does not flag the nutrient totals or footnote the nutrient totals to indicate that they were derived by summing food items with missing values. NPro reports not only offer to indicate that there are missing values, but even provide the actual number of missing values. <back>

7. In FP-SQL and NPro, the food name and brand name searches are actually the same search because the brand names and food names are combined under their food descriptions. NutriBase provides separate fields for Food Name, Brand Name, and Comments, but also provides an Advanced Search function that allows users to conduct searches across all three of these colmuns simultaneously. <back>

8. "Live nutrient data" is the actual nutrient data from the database that the software product relies on for its source of nutrient data. "Live nutrient data" does not apply to pre-selected lists of food items such as those that may exist in reports for intakes, meal plans, or recipes. <back>

I T E M	Nutrient Database Ranking (Sort) Capabilities	NutriBase Clinical v.7.x	Food Processor SQL v.10.x	Nutritionist Pro	M O R E
52	Global ranking (sort) for food items that allows you to rank the entire database, selected categories of the nutrient database, or even any combination of specific subcategories of the database.?	YES	no	no
53	Rank (sort) food items from high-to-low or low-to-high based on Percent Calories from Protein, Percent Calories from Carbohydrates, Percent Calories from Fat, Calories from Protein, Calories from Carbohydrates or Calories from Fat?	YES	no	no
54	Rank (sort) foods from high-to-low or low-to-high based on their values for any selected nutrient?	YES	no	no
55	Ability to view your recipes, meals, and personal food items, then rank them on-screen from high-to-low or low-to-high based the values for any nutrient while you are viewing them in the spreadsheet view?	YES	no	no

I T E M	Query (Boolean AND search) Capabilities	NutriBase Clinical v.7.x	Food Processor SQL v.10.x	Nutritionist Pro	M O R E
56	Conduct queries (Boolean AND Searches) on the nutrient data for one ("1") specific food, brand name, and/or serving size by specifying upper or lower limits for as up to ten ("10") nutrient components?	YES	no	YES <10>
57	Conduct queries (Boolean AND Searches) on the nutrient data for multiple foods, brands, and/or serving sizes by specifying upper or lower limits for as few or as many nutrient components as desired?	YES	no	no
58	Ability to query the nutrient database to show you all the menu items from, say, Burger King, McDonalds, and Wendys with at no more than, say, 8 grams of saturated fat, sorted from low-to-high based on their values for saturated fat?	YES	no	no

Footnotes:
10. NPro can perform Boolean AND searches for a maximum of ten nutrients. NPro does not allow you to limit your search to a list of foods or brand names... you can limit your search to a single food name or brand name. (This means you wouldn't be able to locate - for example - all the Hamburgers, French Fries, and Milk Shakes from Jack-in-the-Box, McDonald's, and Burger King that contain a maximum of 20 grams of Fat, no more than 500 mg of Sodium, and at least 4 grams of Protein.) NPro does not allow you to specify upper or lower limits to Percent Calories from Fat, Percent Calories from Protein, Percent Calories from Carbohydrates, Calories from Fat, Calories from Protein, or Calories from Carbohydrates. <back>

What should you be looking for in nutrition software? Today's nutrition and fitness software is more sophisticated than yesterday's product offerings. It's a good idea to get familiar with the kinds of capabilities and features you will expect from your nutrition and fitness software. Once you've determined which features you must have and which features you can live without, you'll be well prepared to make the right decision regarding your choice of software.

I T E M	Intake Management <15>	NutriBase Clinical v.7.x	Food Processor SQL v.10.x	Nutritionist Pro	M O R E

60	Ability to assign an intake item (a food item) to a particular meal or snack while adjusting its serving sizes?	YES	YES	no
61	View analyses of an intake day's individual meals or snacks (both numerically and graphically) by simply clicking their tabs?	YES	no	YES
62	Ability to copy intakes (or selected meals and/or snacks from a day's intake) from any client to any another client (or clients) on any day (or days) you specify?	YES	no	YES
63	Ability to create a food list that will be auto-recorded to a client's intake each time you open a new day's intake for that client?	YES	no	YES
64	Ability to select and copy intake food items (and portion sizes) into an editable shopping list?	YES	no	no
65	Calendar that can be set up to award "thumbs up" (or "thumbs down") icons when clients meet (or don't meet) daily nutrition goals?	YES	no	no
66	Ability to subtract ingredients from any intake? Example: "Whopper without mayonnaise and pickles."	YES	no	no
67	Analyze intake relative to customized client goals?	YES	YES	YES
68	Automatically display Total Calories and the PCF (Protein-Carbohydrate-Fat) Ratio (or CPF Ratio) for all intakes?	YES	no	no
69	Compose any nutrient intake <16> (sort all intake items based on % content and actual content of any nutrient)?	YES	YES	somewhat <17>
70	Set alarms to trigger when clients exceed any nutrient limit(s) you program for them?	YES	no	no
71	Client calendar that awards clients a "happy face" on days when they meet their personal nutritional and/or exercise goals? (And an "unhappy face" on the days they don't.)	YES	no	no

Footnotes:

15. NutriBase defines an intake as a list of food items that a client has eaten (or has been recommended to eat) over a specified period of time. FP-SQL refers to an intake as a "foodlist" (FP-SQL also calls recipes and meal plans "foodlists.") NPro refers to an intake as a "diet." <back>

16. In NutriBase, composing an intake performs an on-the-spot composition analysis on that intake. It lists the food items in ascending or descending order based on the values for that nutrient. It tells you what percentage of the recipe is contained in each food item, along with the actual amounts. This function will tell you instantly where all that Fat or Sodium is coming from. <back>

17. NPro displays nutrient values for foods in a "diet" (A "diet" is NPro's nomenclature for an "intake") in a spreadsheet format. This makes it fairly easy to see which food contains the most Fat or Sodium, as long as the intake doesn't include too many ingredients. NPro doesn't rank the food items based on selected nutrients or show the percentage of the nutrient that comes from each food item in the recipe. NPro allows you to see the nutrients for foods after you generate a report... no ranking features supported. <back>

Footnotes:
18. "Composing" a recipe performs an on-the-spot composition analysis on that recipe. It lists the food items in ascending or descending order based on the values for that nutrient. It tells you what percentage of the recipe is contained in each food item, along with the actual amounts. This function will tell you instantly where all that Fat or Sodium in your recipe is coming from. <back>

19. FP-SQL lets you select the nutrient you wish to see "sources and amounts for single nutrient." The bottom portion of the screen shows the amounts, the percentages, and a bar chart. As you click on other nutrients, the data on the screen changes to provide information for the selected nutrient. All rankings are high-to-low... FP-SQL won't display the values sorted low-to-high. <back>

20. NPro displays nutrient values for all ingredients of the recipe in a spreadsheet format. This makes it fairly easy to see which ingredient contains the most Fat or Sodium... as long as the recipe doesn't include too many items. NPro doesn't rank the ingredients based on selected nutrients or show the percentage of the nutrient that comes from each ingredient. NPro lists the nutrient values for ingredients when you generate a report for printing... no sorting capabilities are supported. <back>

21. NPro organizes recipes in its cookbook into a tabbed notebook composed of 26 fixed tabs labeled "A" through "Z". NPro uses a "cookbook" metaphor... you open "cookbooks" to access recipes by source. <back>

27.The ability to organize recipes into a tabbed notebook, then add, delete, and rename tabs allows you to organize your recipes into categories of foods (beverages, desserts, soups, etc.) NutriBase allows you to drag and drop recipes from tab-to-tab. NutriBase also uses this organizational approach to personal food items (new foods and frequently used foods). <back>

Footnotes:
22. NutriBase Assessment Reports contain up to 177 client-specific facts about any selected client. To customize the assessment report, users edit their "template files" by inserting "macros" as needed. Each "macro" - which may be inserted anywhere in your report - represents something NutriBase knows about the selected client. These macros include client information such as first name, last name, salutation, current weight, desired weight, daily calorie goal, etc. You edit a "template file" using these macros anywhere you wish. You control the formatting (bold, italics, font size, centering, tables, font and background colors, etc.) Include information you want to add to the report (exercise routines, dieting tips, phone numbers for them to call each week, a reminder to take have their body fat analysis done on a certain date, etc.) There are separate template files for those who are losing weight, gaining weight, and maintaining their weight. (These reports give the impression that you gave up your evening to produce them... yet they take only a few seconds to generate.) <back>

Note: This chart was prepared to help you sort out the differences in these various packages. Because of the complex interactions that exist among the software components of today's high-end nutrition programs, there is often more than one way to get a job done. CyberSoft acknowledges that it may be possible that these software packages can accomplish one or more of these tasks in a way that was not clear to us even after hours of rigorous testing. For this reason, we recommend you visit Esha Research and Axxya Systems for up-to-date information regarding their latest software. Their telephone contact numbers are also provided above. If you know of a feature that our competitors have that we don't support, let us know… we'll add it to this chart and give ourselves a "no" until we implement our own version of any new feature. :-)
