Overview

Return

These programs are developed from publicly available nutrition information. They are designed to be simple, every day useable programs at an affordable price. It is our hope that they will help you eat healthier and live better.

Both of these programs were developed in collaboration between LICHEN Software and Gail A. McQueen, Professional Home Economist

Why Two Nutrition Programs?

Food products and hence the data available differs from country to country.
Fortification standards and the foods fortified differ between The United States and Canada.
Some food products are actually different. Example: All Canadian flour is hard wheat flour suitable for bread and pasta. Americans have both hard and soft wheat flour.
Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) is legislated in each country and is different in each country.
The American Nutrient Database has a good selection of Indigenous Foods which is not available in the Canadian data.

Purchasing

Each nutrient database program is priced at $24.95. Canadian residents must pay G.S.T. (Total: $26.20). Ontario residents also pay P.S.T. (Total :$28.19). There are no value added taxes for non Canadian residents.

If you wish to purchase both databases at the same time, the special price is $34.95 plus applicable taxes.

These programs are delivered by download link emailed to you or if you are purchasing from one of our agents, he/she will install the program for you. If you actually want us to cut and ship a CD-ROM, add $10.00 plus applicable taxes. By not cutting CD-ROMs we keep the price down.

We accept cheque, money order or PayPal.

Computer Requirements

We have tried to keep this program open to the widest possible audience. To to this we have used a modest database engine that suppports a wide variety of platforms. The operating system requirements are:

Windows: Wiindows 95 through Windows XP. Not rated for Vista ... But we tried it and it works fine.
Macintosh OS X: Macintosh OSX 10.0.4 and up.
Macintosh Classic: Macintosh Classic System 8.1 and up.
Minimum screen resolution is 800 x 600. Windows users at that size turn all task bars and menus off. Windows XP at that size, use classic display mode.
