The Nutritional Analysis
The basis of the nutritional analysis is the collection of data from the 3-day log created during the first interim period in the basic program.
Longer periods of time can be reported to give more accuracy to the nutritional picture.
A sample of a few of the reports with brief descriptions are shown below:
