Is there a Website I can use to do nutrition analysis calculations for any recipes I want to post on the Board? I did do a "Search" on the Boards and didn't find a reference to one. Google will show me some, but I was hoping there is one y'all find simple and accurate. Thanks.

Hi Sand! There are a bunch of nutritional analysis programs you can download that give you free trials. One I tried that I really liked was called the Living Cookbook. I don't remember the website but I'm sure you could search for it on Google. I didn't end up putting the money into buying it, but it was very handy!

Hi,
I have an Excel speadsheet that calculates your daily calorific intake, calculates each day meal by meal and also has a reference to nutritional values of 546 foods, fresh and packaged. If you want copy, give me your email address and I will send it to you.
The best book I have read is called Complete Guide to Sports Nutrition by Anita Bean, published by A&C Black. My spreadsheet was created using her formulas. I couldn't find the book on Amazon.com but it is on Amazon.co.uk.
Hope this helps.

Rachel,
Thanks for the offer - your spreadsheet sounds awesome. Unfortunately, I have a Macintosh which makes sharing stuff like that almost impossible. Unless, through some miracle, you're Mac also?
Thanks for the book name - I'll make a note of it.
Also, more generally, I'd like to say thanks in general to you - and everyone - being so helpful. This is a great Website and a great Board. It's so nice to know I'm not in this by myself.

Kree,
Thanks and I found it - but it's Windows and I'm Mac. I didn't think about that before I asked for a calculator. I imagine I'm going to have to dig around a bit to find one for my kind of computer.
I'd also like to say it's good to "meet" you. I haven't been posting for long, but I started checking out the Website in the Summer and have gotten a lot of recipes off it and many of my favorites were yours: Quick Sticky Buns, Greek Chicken Lemon Soup, Mark's Lo Fat Pancakes, and - my very favorite recipe - Crockpot Chicken Stew. Thanks so much for all the great food - it made getting into the IBS Diet much easier and tastier.

Aww, that's too bad that didn't work out for you. I never think about Windows vs. Mac either. I don't even remember how I found it... I think I just fished around on Google. I hope you find something that works for you!
Sand, I'm so happy to hear that you've been enjoying my recipes! That makes me feel good. I know when I first started the diet a lot of the recipes here were lifesavers for me, too! I'm just glad I could help.

I can save the spreasheet as a CSV (MAC) format but I have to save one worksheet at a time. Is this any help to you?

If I was absolutely certain I'd use it, I'd say "please do so", but I really don't want you to do that much work for something I might not use. (Sometimes my intentions run ahead of my implementation.)
Let me look around for something for Mac and if I can't find anything, I might come back to you.
Thanks, though, for being willing to go out of your way for me.
