"Recipe Analyzer" -- Dietitians of Canada

Canadians now have a new tool to help them make healthy eating choices. Dietitians of Canada is pleased to announce the launch of Recipe Analyzer.

Recipe Analyzer is a unique interactive on-line tool that offers consumers a quick and easy way to assess the nutritional value of their favourite recipes. To use the tool, visit the Dietitians of Canada website: http://www.dietitians.ca/eatwell and click on Recipe Analyzer.

Recipe Analyzer lets you enter the list of ingredients of any recipe and then get:

• A full nutrient profile for a serving of that recipe
• The number of Food Guide servings the recipe provides
• Tips on how to change the recipe to make it more nutritious.

Users can create an on-line recipe binder and save their recipes, and they can also do comparisons of two different recipes to see how they measure up nutritionally.

From the website:
"Here is an effective, easy-to-use tool for teaching diabetes patients how to apply a nutritional plan in their meal-by-meal or daily diet. The Diabetes Place Mat is a sturdy, heavily laminated, 11" by 17" place mat that can be used over and over. The Kit includes many, many copy-ready handouts including 4 sample meal plans--one each for 2250, 1800, 1500, and 1250 calories per day plus a blank plan for you to fill in custom plans as needed for some patients."

Other nutrition-related place mat kits are available.
