food professionals and knowledgeable individuals to
create and test diet plans based on the food exchange
scheme. To create a dietary plan using the "food
exchange diet planner" (this program), one
needs to follow three steps:
(a) Define the average daily energy requirements of
the person that the user
wants to create the diet for. The energy is defined in
terms of calories and
can also be suggested by the program based on the
person's age, height, weight
and activity level.
(b) Define the percentages of the three macronutrients
(carbohydrates,
protein and fat) that the diet should consist of. The
user can either define
the three percentages by himself/herself or choose a
predefined set of percentages
