Diet Database1.0

Diet Database is one of the many utilities out there, that comes to help easily record and view each meal you served, and how many calories you consumed during one day.

Can be launched directly without prior setup

Since it doesn't require installation in order to run, you can directly take it for a spin, once the download is complete. Plus, it doesn't occupy much space on the drive, nor generates entries in the Windows registry.The interface is self-explanatory and intuitive, consisting of one window, that stacks all the necessary fields, and some navigational buttons, at the bottom of the panel.

Insert the values for each element

There is no option to configure your own database, or set a password, to protect the data from uninvited people. If you have an existing document, with such records, you can import it from the computer.To add a new entry, just fill in the required fields, like date, meal, carbohydrates, protein, fat, calories, sodium, vitamins, and optional notes. For the details to be entered, hit the "Add" button. Sadly, the app only keeps half of the inputted info, while several features, don't have any kind of functionality.

Navigate through items with ease

Using the provided arrows, you can browse the items, while the search bar, lets you look up for specific words on the Internet. This operation opens a new tab in your defined web browser. From the Edit menu, it's possible to view the entire file table and enter new records.Unfortunately, the list can't be exported to CSV or XLS formats, for further use, nor backed up and restored if problems are encountered. There are no options to change the layout, customize it with different colors, or schedule a reminder.

The bottom line

Taking everything into consideration, Diet Database is an average and poorly developed program, that can only store several records, and comes with too few features.
