are: protein; total fat; saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids; cholesterol; carbohydrate; fiber; calcium; phosphorous; iron; sodium; potassium; vitamin A; thiamin; riboflavin; niacin; vitamin C. The nutrient intake is compared to the 1980 RDA. The program calculates the percent of total calories from protein, carbohydrate, total fat, saturated, mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids, and alcohol. The total calories and nutrients for a day are displayed and compared to the RDA. A distribution of calories and nutrients is also shown by meal and snack. The key nutrients appear on a graph that also contains an index of nutrient density for each nutrient. Foods eaten with 36,10 added sugar are displayed; weight options show suggested weight for the adult and ranges of weights and heights for children. USDA plus manufacturer's nutrient data are used in the data base which contains over 2,800 foods. Users guide and labels for foods and codes are available for $10 (make check payable to University of Nebraska). FOINANA: FOOD INTAKE ANALYSIS • From Agricultural Extension Service - EXTEND • Cost: To be determined. • Cyber computer, printer. This program helps an individual assess the nutritional quality of a 24-hour food intake. The diet is compared to the RDA for selected nutrients. Lists of foods which are key sources of iron, calcium, vitamins A and C may be obtained. The recommendations of the Basic Four are compared to the 24-hour food intake. Designed for junior, senior high students, or adults.

'1 • IBM 370 that accommodates Fortran IV D, Level G (l56K), 2 disk drives, input and output devices. This service offers a generalized flexible system with the following features: 1) dietary intake can be coded in any units of measurements without coding the units of measurements; 2) one food code number may have 9 different units of measurements as per user specifications; 3) any food composition tables may be used and their units of measurements transformed VOLUME16 NUMBER2

to any other as desired; 4) calculated nutrient values of recipes reflect changes due to cooking processes; 5) computations may be for any unit of time and multiples and/or fractions thereof; 6) flexible formatting; 7) analyses can include ratios of any nutrients or nutrient groups, percent of nutrients from food groups, total weight of food, comparison of nutrient intake to body weight, caloric intake and to any specified standards such as RDA or USRDA. OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY HOSPITALS- DEPARTMENT OF DmTETICSNUTIUENT DATA BASE SYSTEM • From The Ohio State University Hospitals • $5,000, data tape; $I,250/year license fee; $5,000 analysis software, $I,250/year license fee, includes alphabetical and numerical catalogs of food items for coding data. • IBM 4341 Model 2 MVS (256K), B420 tape drive, 3350 disk drive, 1403 printer. The data base contains nutrient information on over 8,200 food items. It can be used to produce reports on individual or group nutrient intake totals, percentage of the RDA, and percentage of individual or group intakes from certain food groups. Reports on any combination of the 63 nutrients may be requested. Where nutrient data is unavailable, the missing data for each particular food item is so coded. Nutrient data is compiled from USDA Handbook No.8; Church & Church; Agricultural Research Service Report; USDA Research Reports No. 4 and No. 36; published food company data; and others. Nutrients are recorded for food items in 100 gram portions. The data base also contains a household conversion code and the gram equivalence when it is known. There is also an allergy code noting the presence or absence of gluten or lactose when it is known. The file is under continuous update with the source of each nutrient being coded into the file.

This is a general nutrient analysis system with the following features: 1) dietary intake can be coded in any measures without coding the units; 2) one food number can have multiple measures; 3) food composition tables can be used regardless of measures; 4) food composition tables can be transformed from one set of measures to any other; 5) any nutrients for which values are available can be included; 6) calculated nutrient values of recipes reflect changes due to cooking processes; 7) any time period is allowed; 8) the form of input and output is flexible; 9) analyses can include ratios of nutrients, percent of nutrients to food groups, total weight of foods, and comparisons to standards.
WEIGHT CONTROL AND EXERCISE ENERGY • From Sarah H. Short • Availability: Contact Sarah Short. • IBM 4342 Model Group 2, hardcopy telecommunications terminal. This program can be used in conjunction with "Diet" program to compare caloric intake with caloric needs. The program asks for personal information on height, weight, age, sex, and daily activity and for the amount of time each day spent in sleeping, very light, light, moderate, and strenuous activity. Five basic activity types are provided. The printed output produces a number for the basal energy expenditure and for the total energy needs in calories per day. NUTRICHECK • From Norge Jerome • $1200 plus yearly maintenance fee, (not for profit organizations); Individual analysis: $65 for 7-day; $35 for 4-day. Reduced rates for batches of 4 or more. • IBM 3031, 370, 30XX, 43XX (magnetic tape), one tape drive 1600 or 6250 BPI and one disk drive. This program organizes data obtained from records of an individual's food and beverage intake and eating or drinking styles. The program is used in conjunction with the Ohio State University Hospitals' Nutrient Data Base System. The computer printout presents the types and amounts of foods, beverages, and nutrients consumed each recordkeeping day, including the personal and social context of eating and drinking, and the interactional pattern accompanying food and beverage consumption. The program summarizes the frequency of consuming each food and beverage, identifies limiting JOURNAL OF NUTRITION EDUCATION
