The Value of Exportable Recipes, Meals, and Meal Plans

At least one major nutrition software package supports the sharing of recipes, meals, meal plans (and more) amongst its various versions (from inexpensive versions for individuals and families to the high end nutrition software packages for professionals).

There are two basic ways that you can do this:

You can export your Meal Plan for a client to use. Start by creating a custom Meal Plan for a client (or for a particular type of client - weight loss, athlete, body builder, diabetic, etc.). Export the Meal Plan to a compressed file. Send it to your client as an email attachment or copy it to a diskette and hand it to him. The client can then import the Meal Plan into his or her nutrition software package. All the recipes used in the Meal Plan will automatically appear in the user's Recipe Manager. (All recipes-within-recipes will also appear.) Any meals used in the Meal Plan will appear in the user's Meal Manager.

The user can record your custom Meal Plan has her intake for the next four weeks. The only things she needs to edit will be her deviations from your Meal Plan. At the end of a month, she can backup her work and email it (or hand it to you on a diskette) to you for in-depth analysis, modification, and new recommendations.

These capabilities allow professional users to provide their clients with economical software that will make tracking their progress more visual, more engaging, and more accurate than it would ordinarily be.
