McGraw-Hill has a program FoodWorks College Version, that does allow you to
look at intake and energy output. The current version does not integrate
them very well. Our product, of course, is designed primarily for use in
nutrition programs. Those of us who work in health education and exercise
science side of McGraw-Hill are working on the nutrition staff to address
this and a few other tweaks that we know will appeal to you. In the
meantime, its not a bad program it has about 8,000 foods and is less than
$50 stand-alone. Of course, packaged with our books it is much less. The
drawback to the program is that it is only available for IBM/Windows.
Starting in fall 2001 there will be a new program FoodWise that will support
Macintosh and IBM/Windows. I don't have the specifics as I no longer work
in the nutrition area, but I do know that it will be very similar to FWCV
and will have improvements. If you want to look at these products go to
www.mhhe.com/nutrition.
If you want a bigger program, I think that Food Processor by ESHA is good.
Also, of course, the FoodWorks Professional Program is a possiblity.

Back in June (hard to believe it is July), there was a request about diet
and fitness software. One reply listed a number of useful web sites for
nutrition analysis, but that didn't answer the question I too have. I'm
looking for software - not web sites - that offer students an opportunity to
record both nutritional intake, but also physical activity performance, and
integration of the two measurements. I'm willing to trade.
The request is really for middle and high school teachers and their
students. Some schools use Dine Healthy, but they generally haven't been
satisfied with its performance. The current version is Dine Healthy 3, and
the updated version may help some teachers with past version problems, but
they are actively seeking other products. One I've identified is called
NutriBase, and I wonder if anyone has experience with that product. They
offer both professional and personal use versions of their product. Their
web site is - http://www.dietsoftware.com Here's the "hot tip" or trade.
On the site, they have a page which gives you links to all their
competitors, i.e. all the other nutrition (and some fitness) software
products on the market, including Dine Healthy. If you are still looking
for nutrition analysis software, that is a great list to check out. The
direct link to that page is - http://www.dietsoftware.com/links.htm Margo

Dear Colleagues,
For those interested, here is the link to the Surgeon's General's
Report. You might also want to send him a letter and give him an
"attaboy". The far right is taking shots at him over this report and the
Bush Administration has distanced itself from the both the report and
Dr. Satcher.

I've been asked lately by a few HER-Folk "What happened to your Friday Inspiration column?" I've been taking a hiatus from the FI for a while and will return someday. Everything needs a rest or it becomes stale. In the mean time, I've been editing the Health and Fitness page for the website PELinks4U http://www.pelinks4u.org
For those who enjoy my essays and who would like website resources mostly related to school health and PE, visit me at http://www.pelinks4u.org/sections/health/health.htm There is also an archive of previous essays,pages and health/fitness related links http://www.pelinks4u.org/archives/arch.htm
***********************************************************
This month's editorial follows:
In the early 1980's I raced bicycles on the
velodrome in Redmond, Washington. It was
a wonderful time in my life and I gained an
incredible level of fitness. I also gained
several valuable life lessons.
As most sports fans know, bike racers use
one another as windbreaks to overcome air
resistance. This is called "drafting." By
sharing the windblocking duty, a pack of
riders can move along at a far faster pace than
an individual rider who must overcome wind
resistance, as well as rolling resistance all
alone. If you are unable to keep the pace of
the pack, or if you lapse in your efforts for a
moment, you drop outside of the protective
effect of the mass of the pack and are left to
battle wind resistance alone.
Unlike foot racing, there is no pride in just
finishing a bike race. If you are not in the
pack, not in contention, you are pressured by
the other riders, the crowd, and at times even
the officials to drop out and head for the
infield.
In contrast, to "break away" - to ride out
ahead of the pack in bike racing - is truly a
phenomenal feat that requires extraordinary
fitness and superior motivation. Riders who
form a breakaway are cheered, admired, and
often rewarded with medals for 1st, 2nd, and
3rd place for their efforts. What is unknown
to most sports fans is that it takes just as
much fitness and motivation to break away
off the front of the pack as it does to catch
back up to the back of the pack if one is
dropped.
I often reflect back to the times when I
dangled off the back of the pack unable to
summon the strength or motivation to ride
harder and suffer any more, just to regain my
position in the midst of the pack. On the other
hand, I can also vividly recall the glory of the
times when I broke away - sometimes for just
a few laps - and how willing I was to ride
until my lungs and legs burned like fire, and
my pulse pounded at 200 bpm in response to
the positive motivation of the cheering crowd
and the announcer's voice proclaiming my
name and number.
How different motivation can be when we are
succeeding and trying for the "big win," as
opposed to when we are losing and trying
merely for mediocrity, although the effort
required for either may actually be exactly the
same.
