iFoodPlus

 
A Meal Planning and Grocery List Application.

     iFoodPlus is a complete Grocery List and Meal Planning Application for the Mac.  It works with Apple’s Leopard, Snow Leopard, and Lion.  The application keeps track of individual food items and recipes like most meal planning software, but also has the capability to save individual meal templates.  This gives the user the added convenience of ordering or selecting the weeks meals within guidelines that speed up the entire planning process.  These meal templates can be divided into courses like Entrees, Beverages, Soups, and Salads to create a menu like appearance.

     Once the meals are created for each date, the two week Grocery List and Meal Plan are ready to be previewed and printed.  The meal plan counts calories for each meal and the individual items used in each recipe.  The data for each item includes breakdowns of calories from Fat, Protein, and Carbohydrates.  There is also complete nutrient information from the current SR23 USDA Database as well as a convenient Nutrition Label generated for each food item.  Additional information like Glycemic Index and Load can be provided and stored for those with special dietary needs.
