Nice idea to create a download and comment site for NutVal.
the "Ration Name or Reference" box and the "Date" box are not editable.
In the 2004 version they were.
Thanks Rupe, we will look in to that.
We have looked into the issue of editing the Ration name and Date boxes mentioned by Rupe above. Until now we are unable to replicate the problem using the current version of NutVal 2006. Perhaps Rupe could let us know the version they were working with and if the problem was still seen with v1.42?
If any one else is experiencing this or any other problems please do leave a comment or email us. With thanks, NutVal Support.
Hi i would like to find out whether its possible to edit the database and place other foods and nutval will work fine
Thanks for your enquiry.
One of the design concepts with NutVal is that it has a closed set of food items in its database. This is to try and ensure that all users use the same nutrient content data for their ration calculations, thereby minimising the potential for confusion over results and inter agency friction.
The database is built using a compilation of food composition data sources, as detailed in the associated help page.
For users who wish to add items to the calculation sheet that are not in the database two lines are provided at the bottom of the calculation sheet for manual entry of items and nutrient amounts.
Hi,
very goog application!
For use in Latin America I recommend you strongly a Spanish version. (And for Haiti and Africa, a French version would be also useful).
The Excel sheet is so perfect, that I can´t find a way to edit the cells.
Thanks for your kind comment Friedrich.
Translations are something we would be very keen to do and, resources permitting, French and Spanish are definitely on the list. Unfortunately, we can't promise when this may happen.
The non-editable cells are one way to try and keep the application intact and make sure everyone gets the same answers... However, if there are any particular problems you come across then please do let us know.
Hi,
It's a really great tool! Any chance you could work on adding the Magnesium content in the food products from the database - I think that Mg is pretty important in nutrition (for quite a few reasons - but mostly for physical activity and concentration).
Thanks!
Thanks for your comments and apologies for the delay in responding
We are currently discussing which nutrients should be included in the next version of NutVal and will put Mg on the list for consideration. There are a fair few in contention though...
