FoodWorks

FoodWorks is a cool and easy-to-use app that helps you analyze your diet, plan meals, create recipes, and even add new ingredients. You can build your own database filled with personalized recipes while keeping track of what you eat and how many calories you consume daily.

Easy to Navigate Layout

The app has a clean and modern design. It features a navigation window on the side, a main area that changes based on what you're looking at (like recipes or meal plans), and an analysis panel. Sure, it might take a little while to get used to the menu, but once you play around with it for a bit, it becomes super user-friendly.

Setting Up Your Database

Before diving in, it's a good idea to set up your general database preferences. This includes choosing the measurement units and nutrients you'd like to track. When adding new entries, you'll fill in details like name, ID, folder location, base group, age, gender, activity level, weight, height, and a short description.

Adding Meals Made Easy

If you want to add a new meal, just double-click on the food item in the list you see. Then enter the quantity and date! The tool will automatically calculate things like fat content and calories for you. However, keep in mind that the table layout isn't perfect since it doesn’t always keep rows and columns organized as you'd expect.

Create Your Own Recipes

You can also write your own recipes by specifying ingredients and steps needed to cook them up! But there are some limitations; for instance, it doesn’t let you add details like cooking time or number of servings directly into the recipe fields. Luckily though, all this data can easily be exported into an MDB file if you want to back it up or import it later.

Your Go-To Meal Management Tool

FoodWorks is really handy for anyone looking to manage their own recipe collection while planning out meals tailored just for them—whether that's maintaining or losing weight. If you're ready to check it out for yourself, click here!
