   Anyone who wants to lose or maintain weight must simply consume less
calories than their body burns. The average woman will maintain weight at about
2,000 calories a day.  For the average man it is about 2,500. If you eat about
500 calories a day less that it takes to maintain, you will lose about a pound
a week.

   Counting calories is not the easiest thing for most people. After counseling
people for several years at a weight control center, I found that if logging of
food eaten and calories contained was made easier, a person was usually more
successful in losing weight (or at least knowing why he or she wasn't losing
weight).

   This program contains over 200 foods and their calorie content per unit
(each or per ounce). The first time you run this program, I strongly suggest
you print out the entire list of foods and their calorie content.  Use it as a
shopping guide and as an aid as a meal planner.

   Once you start your diet, enter the foods that you have eaten for each meal.
The program will give you a calorie total of each meal and a grand total for
each day and for the entire week.

   Keeping track of every calorie you eat is an absolute way to lose weight.
Try to keep the total daily calorie total between 1200 and 1400. At this
amount, you should lose between 1 and 3 pounds per week, depending on your
beginning weight, activity level, etc.

   This program allows you to store up to ten meal plans.  Use them to record
the food consumption of different family members, or use some of them to set up
various alternative planned diets and another to record what you actually ate.
A meal plan stores a full week's meals; after the end of the week, clear it out
or move to a different plan.  Use the main menu item "Change to another plan"
to pick the plan you're working with, and "Work with this plan" to enter data
for the current plan.  When you pick the latter, you get a submenu of choices
to select the day and meal you're entering, add foods to the current meal, edit
a meal's entries, print reports, copy a meal to another day and time, clear the
data for a meal, change the target number of calories allowed (set this for
each day as a figure to shoot for), and edit the name of the plan.

   The "reports" submenu lets you output several graphs and reports.  Some can
be displayed on your screen, then optionally printed out by pressing "P" while
they're displaying; others go straight to your printer (you're given a chance
to get the printer ready or abort the process before printing starts).  Some
reports show the calorie count for the day's or week's meals, while others let
you compare two different plans.  (Do this when you have one plan set up for
what you should be eating and another for what you actually eat; this report
will show how your calorie intake compares with what it ought to be.)
Comparison reports require you to move the cursor to the name of each of the
two plans you're comparing, then press ENTER to pick it; other reports act on
the plan that has been set as the current one using the "Change to another
plan" option.  You also have an option to print out the complete list of foods
and their calorie counts; this may be helpful to you when shopping or planning
meals.

   Other main menu options let you copy one plan entirely into another, clear
out a plan (do this at the end of the week to get ready for the next), edit the
list of foods (to insert your favorites that have been omitted, or to remove
"junk" food items you don't want to be tempted with), save the data (to guard
against power outages), and quit the program (which saves data automatically).

   Calorie Calculator is menu-driven, and has online help throughout.  When in
doubt about what to do, check for help messages on the screen.  In some places,
as indicated on the screen, pressing F1 yields some more help.

   There is not much free space on this disk; if you're going to be entering 
data for meals, the disk may fill up.  Hence, as with all programs that generate 
data files, it is wise to copy this program to your own disk if you're going to 
make regular use of it. 

   To run this program from outside the BIG BLUE DISK menu, type ^1PASRUN CALCALC.
