Back Cover of Manual
We're all aware of the importance of a good diet. Yet how can we find time in our busy schedules to plan well-balanced meals?
The Weight Control & Nutrition module helps take the guesswork out of planning nutritious meals. Simply enter your personal information and select the foods you want to include in the meals. The computer then creates menus based on the essential nutritional requirements of average adults (age 18 and over). As with any dietary program, you should check with your doctor to make sure the program meets your needs.
Weight Control & Nutrition module features let you:
- ■ Determine your recommended weight range
- ■ Choose a target weight goal
- ■ Create weekly menus based on your weight goal and nutritional needs
- ■ View a nutritional analysis of the menus
The module was developed in cooperation with the staff of Better Homes and Gardens® and features 62 kitchen-tested Better Homes and Gardens® recipes.
Triton Catalog - Spring 1984
Plan balanced meals and improve fitness through nutrition! Your input determines recommended weight range and creates weekly menus tailored to your food preferences and target weight. Menus meet U.S. Recommended Daily Allowances for Adults. (Cassette or Disk Data storage system recommended.)

About This Program
The Weight Control & Nutrition module is designed to be flexible and easy to use. First, enter personal information about each participant. Up to five people at a time can participate. The computer suggests recommended weight ranges for each person and allows him or her to select a target weight goal. Then, using the selected weight goal, the computer calculates the daily number of calories required in each person's diet.
Once the personal information is entered, you may choose the foods to be included in the menus. Foods may be selected for each person or for the family as a whole. That's all there is to it! You're ready to create a week of menus for an individual or for the entire family!
The Weight Control & Nutrition module is based on widely accepted concepts and research in the areas of nutrition and human physiology. The module program was developed with the assistance of Angela Boren, M.S., R.D., associate professor in the Food and Nutrition Department of Texas Tech University, and Linda Douglas, M.S., R.D., director of the Dietetics Clinic at Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. The concepts on which the program is based are briefly discussed in the rest of this section.
Proteins, Carbohydrates and Fats
Proteins, carbohydrates, and fats (saturated and unsaturated) are the basic energy-producing nutrients. All food contains at least one of these nutrients, and all three should be included in your daily diet. Based on the Dietary Goals for the United States, developed by the Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs, the following proportion for these nutrients is suggested for the average person's daily diet:
| Protein | 15% | |
| Carbohydrates | 55% | |
| Fats, | Saturated | 10% |
| Unsaturated | 20% |
The daily menus created by the Weight Control & Nutrition module include proteins, carbohydrates, and fats in approximately the proportions listed above.
Vitamins and Minerals
Your body requires a wide variety of vitamins and minerals for good health. The Weight Control & Nutrition module takes the following essential vitamins and minerals into consideration when creating menus: vitamin A, vitamin C, niacin, riboflavin, thiamin, iron, and calcium. For each day's menus, the module selects foods which supply these vitamins and minerals approximately in the amounts recommended by the 1980 U.S. RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance) for adults age 18 and over. The module also provides a nutrient analysis which estimates how closely each day's menus meet the RDA for the above nutrients.
Note that the Weight Control & Nutrition module does not take into consideration all the nutrients needed by the human body. However, it does assign a higher "Food Type" rating to those foods which have a better nutrient content. This procedure, which is discussed below, increases the probability that the menus created by the module supply many of the nutrients you need in your diet.
