The Nutritional Analysis is useful when you want to substitute ingredients to make a recipe more appropriate for dietary needs or just want the information. You can perform a nutritional analysis of:
· An ingredient
· One or more recipes
· One or more menus
· A meal plan
The Nutritional Analysis feature is available whenever the Nutritional Analysis icon on the toolbar is active. You can run a nutritional analysis from:
· The Recipe Browser
· The Recipe Display window
· The Recipe Edit window
· The Menu or MealPlan window
· The Favorites
To run a Nutritional Analysis:
1. Click the Nutritional Analysis icon.
2. The analysis will appear in a moment.
NOTE: You may see a message reporting that some information is missing or insufficient. For example, if the recipe calls for one medium onion but doesn’t state an amount (e.g. one cup) MasterCook will assume an average whole size for the purposes of the analysis. Or, if there is no information for an ingredient the analysis will finish but may not be accurate depending on what was missing.
You can continue by clicking OK or CANCEL the analysis. You can also turn off the Nutritional Warnings by clicking the box.
The nutritional analysis includes:
The recipe name or ingredient and the number of servings the analysis is based on:
· The number of calories per serving
· The percent of calories from fat, carbohydrates and protein
· The total fat and the breakdown of the types of fat
· cholesterol
· total carbohydrates
· dietary fiber
· protein
· sodium
· vitamins and minerals
· caffeine
· alcohol
· refuse – portion that is discarded in preparation
· food exchanges
This information is shown in both the amount per serving, e.g. 13 grams of fat per serving, and the percent of daily values per serving, e.g. 13 grams equals 38% of the daily value for fat.
NOTE: MasterCook rounds numbers up on-screen but when you print a nutritional analysis you will see the decimals.
