Nutrition Diet Calculator

Many of our regular readers have been asking us to provide them with a nutrition diet calculator, a tool that will help them do the math for the carbohydrates, fats, and proteins they eat in a day.

How the Nutrition Diet Calculator Works

The nutrition diet calculator is designed to keep a running tab of how much carbohydrate, fat, and protein you're consuming throughout the day.  It helps you monitor your food consumption, and can show you the pattern of what you're eating before it's too late.

The Nutrition Diet Calculator Fields

For each item that you eat, enter the following information into the nutrition diet calculator.

Food: a description of the food item or dish

Carbohydrates: the number of carbohydrates present in the food

Fats: the amount of fat present in the food

Protein: the amount of protein present in the food

Doing the Math

Once you've entered the details into the nutrition diet calculator, hit the [Calculate Total] button.  The "Totals:" fields will now be populated, showing you your nutrition tally for the day.

For further calculations, simply add another item of food to the nutrition diet calculator, and hit the [Calculate Total] button again.
