Targeted at casual users who wish to keep a journal of their daily nutrition activities, Calories is a perfect compliment to body building, fitness and other sports. Users may select foods from the applications database and add them to breakfast, lunch, dinner or snacking categories.

The Nutrients Inspector now shows nutrient averages for the week, month and year for all nutrients.
