About FoodWorks

 

FoodWorks (copyright © 1997-2020) is nutrient analysis software for Windows including Windows 7, 8, 10, and servers. This full-featured software is designed for use by professionals working in nutrition research, nutrient database development, dietetics, client counseling, fitness and weight control, food service, recipe development, healthcare, and nutrition education. FoodWorks uses a simple, intuitive food selection process that allows even beginners to quickly master the art of nutrient analysis. Tasks from simple analysis of a recipe to complex multiple-day cycle menus are easily performed.  FoodWorks is the offspring of a rich ancestry of analytical software dating back to 1979.  Nearly four decades of effort and experience have resulted in the current edition of FoodWorks.

 

FoodWorks performs all of the tasks required of a full-featured nutrient analysis software program from recipe analysis and scaling to recall analysis and menu development.  In addition, FoodWorks' unique data base system allows you to not only develop your own database of foods or ingredients that are important to your business, but to export them to other programs for expanded functionality.  If you are involved in research studies, you can export subject analyses to spreadsheet software (such as Microsoft Excel) for pre-processing, or to statistical software (such as SPSS or JMP).  FoodWorks also can import data from spreadsheets.

 

FoodWorks includes the new Frequently Used Foods list which prompts you as you search, displaying matching foods you've chosen before.  It also includes the Nutrient Preview which displays nutrient values while you select a food, making it easier to select the best portion. The Analysis Quick Reference shows you a "real time" view of your current analysis project. See your analysis results update instantly as you add foods, or change analysis settings. This display includes numerical nutrient values and a bar graph comparison to the selected dietary standard.  In addition, FoodWorks includes all of the features of previous editions of FoodWorks plus new features and functions.  For a full list of features, click the Features link at the top of this page.
