NutriGenie Zone Nutrition Professional for Windows
NutriGenie Zone Nutrition Professional is the ultimate companion
to The Zone, A Dietary Road Map and Mastering the Zone
by Barry Sears. The software analyzes your diet using macronutrient
blocks as well as convenient household units. Every meal has a graphic
Zone sign which obviates the need for tedious calculation to achieve
desirable protein - carbohydrate ratio. A glance at the sign will
tell you whether your meal is Zone-favorable.
In addition, the program provides a unique glycemic index (GI)
indicator for over 500 common foods as well as Zone-favorable, co-factor
and antioxidant food filters that let you quickly select appropriate
foods. One single mouse click will show you all high, medium, or
low GI foods in the database. You can assign or re-assign GI values
to any foods including your own. No other nutrition software provides
this functionality.
NutriGenie zone diet software is for the informed and sophisticated
users. It calculates your macronutrient requirements based on the
zone diet but also provides the U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowances
for comparison. Users can set their own nutrient intake preferences
and the program's superb graphic interface makes identifying an
optimal diet a breeze.
Barry Sears wrote:
"The dietary technology required to reach the Zone is as precise
as any computer technology" (The Zone, p. 3) and
"What is a Zone-favorable diet? It's a diet in which the balance
of macronutrients--protein, carbohydrate, and fat--is tightly controlled:
every meal, every snack, every day." (The Zone, p. 38)
So you can employ the hit-or-miss approach to the Zone, or you can
stay consistently on target with the help of NutriGenie software.
