Food Smart Reviewer's Comments
Food Smart lacks a standard features like other products in this ranking area. We missed a body measurement section, weight calculation tools, import/export ability and, most importantly, an exercise database. These features are important to give full support to any successful diet and nutrition plan.
Food Smart has many standard features but a limited food item database. However, you can add new foods easily and view them in several formats. The recipe management section lets you create new recipes, edit or delete existing ones, and calculate the nutritional value of each recipe while building a menu to meet your specific nutritional needs. The database includes a fast-food section too—handy if you have a weakness for fast food.
No exercise database makes leaves a significant gap between activity and net calories for the day. Food Smart also lacks body measurement, weight calculation capabilities., body composition screen or export/import ability.
Ease of Use:
Food Smart has user-friendly icons on the toolbar that take you to the program's major tools. If you have prior experience with nutritional software, Food Smart will be simple to navigate. Inexperienced users may have to spend some time reading the help section to learn the navigation process.
Help/Support:
Food Smart Home Version has a content-sensitive help section and several getting started programs to help you find your way around. The manufacturer also offers email and fax support.
Summary:
The Food Smart program is functional, well-organized, and competitively priced. The program offers basic nutrition information in a variety of formats and measurement systems. But Food Smart lacks significant s features offered by top nutrition software products. If you want to track your physical changes over time and include exercise into your diet plan, look to TopTenREVIEWS' top five products—you're sure to find one that's just right for you.
