Huge range of features:

• Input your personal information (height, weight, age, gender, activity level), and the software will automatically calculate the calories you burn during the day.
• Tap the information button at the top of the screen to display the new online help system.
• Establish a weight loss program by setting a weight loss goal and target date. A calorie calculator automatically calculates how many calories you must eliminate from your diet each day to reach your weight loss goals.
• Diet & Exercise Assistant has three new diet plans: low calorie, low carbohydrate, and low fat. In addition to the three standard diet plans you can configure Diet & Exercise Assistant to work in combination with any of the popular diet programs today: Atkins, South Beach, Shape Up, Zone, etc.
• To specify nutrient targets, select a diet plan or input your own custom plan and corresponding nutrient percentages. The values in Step 2 represent the percent of calories from each nutrient. Diet & Exercise Assistant tracks the three nutrients that contribute to total calories of a food item: carbohydrates, protein, and fat.
• User specified nutrient targets is new in version 6. For example, to setup Diet & Exercise Assistant to track an Atkins diet, you should select the low carbohydrate diet. You should turn off automatic calculation of nutrient targets and manually specify the grams of carbohydrates you are allowed to have depending on the phase of your Atkins diet.
• The new Logbook screen quickly summarizes the calories consumed and shows you how many calories you can eat the remainder of the day as your food budget.
• The new Logbook tells you when you have exceeded your food intake for the day by showing you the amount you went over in the food budget.
• The new Logbook can be configured to summarize each nutrient in graph form, not just calories. For example, if you are on the Atkins diet you will configure the logbook screen for displaying carbohydrates.
• Use the new food database to log food items each day. The food database has been restructured for ease-of-use and now contains almost 10,000 food items. You can now add, edit, or delete groups, categories, and food items. The nutritional information label on the back of most food products contains all of the information you need to add a food item to the food database.
• The new Meal Logbook breaks food items into breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack. You can copy and paste a whole meal or a single food item from one day to another. Automatically convert the serving size of all food items and drinks to any of the standard cooking units: pinch, teaspoon, tablespoon, cup, pint, quart, gallon, liters, milliliters, fluid ounces, grams, pounds, etc.
• Track your exercise by selecting an activity from a large exercise database. Input the minutes spent exercising, and the software will automatically calculate the calories you burn based on your personal information. If an exercise is not in the database, you can log your own user-defined exercises.
• Chart nutrients with a weekly or monthly histogram. Each chart displays the actual and target value for a selected nutrient.
• Monitor your weight loss program by charting your weight with a weekly or monthly historic weight chart.
• Use the daily weight chart to plot your current and target weight. The daily weight chart will indicate if you are in the normal weight range, overweight or obese.
• Use the new Summary Table to quickly summarize all days and the food consumed.
• Use the new Nutrient tables to quickly summarize all days and compare the nutrients consumed against the goal for the day. The new table quickly lets you know if you were over or under the goal and by how much.
