Just in time to help you keep those New Year's
resolutions, HEART SMART by Mike Henning is a full featured
program designed to help you eat healthy.
The program tracks calories, the amount of fat and cholesterol,
sodium and the percentage of fat in your diet. Included is an
activity planner and calculator (one of several) to help you see
how many calories are burned while performing a specific exercise
over a specific period of time.
Another calculator helps you determine calorie needs for weight
loss or maintenance. A pie chart shows you how your diet deviates
from FDA recommended daily allowances.
A robust list of food items comes pre-packaged with the program
AND you can add, edit or delete to personalize it. The menu
planner helps you see exactly how you are "spending"
your daily allotment of calories. More importantly however, when
used properly, the program can help you make choices that are
heart healthy. The registered version includes 2 sample templates
for 1200 and 1800 calorie menus and a Healthy menu template.
There is an excellent help file included as well as a tutorial to
help you get started. Also provided are dieting hints and special
help for diabetic, low sodium and low cholesterol needs.
Version 5 is for Windows 95 while Version 4 works with Windows
