MONODAY: Optimal type to offer your patient a more than flexible plan. You can create a single solution with alternative foods and let your patient choose from the options offered every day.

WEEKLY: The weekly one is undoubtedly the most used setting. Nutribook has created the personalized name of the days for this type: choose the classic week from Monday to Sunday or use the numbering from 1 to 7.

To meet the need to diversify your calorie and nutrient intake, Nutribook gives you the possibility to enter the same number and type of meals every day of the week or to differentiate them according to the day, so you can adapt the plan to the patient's routine.

PERSONALIZED: Considering the varied needs of many patients seeking nutritional advice, having the option for complete customization is crucial. With the custom plan feature, you have the freedom to decide how many days the diet should cover and give each day a unique name. For instance, if you have a patient who regularly goes to the gym, you can craft a two-day diet plan and name the days "Training" and "Rest," as an example. This level of flexibility is also beneficial for patients with different work schedules, enabling meal planning tailored precisely to their individual requirements.

You have the flexibility to organize meals freely and add customized meals according to your specific needs and preferences.

Various daily activities necessitate different dietary routines. Nutribook offers an extensive selection of standard meals, but it also allows you the option to create personalized meals and label them as you prefer, such as "Post workout." You have the flexibility to determine how many of these personalized meals to include in the diet and whether to maintain a consistent set of meals or vary them daily, aligning the plan with your patient's daily activities.

In this initial stage, you can already fine-tune the food plan to suit your patient's lifestyle by deciding how to allocate calories as a percentage among the various meals.

If you wish to emphasize specific nutrients, you can select macros and/or micronutrients for special attention. Nutribook provides direct access to LARN tables, ensuring accurate quantification of each nutrient based on factors like age group and specific physiological conditions such as pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Distribution of food categories

In multi-day plans, it's crucial to maintain a comprehensive view of the diet to ensure the correct distribution of food categories. This step is vital for creating a diverse and well-structured plan. By filling out the schedule, you gain insight into the food categories you're recommending day by day, ensuring that your patient receives a varied dietary proposal.

This approach streamlines the diet creation process and ensures a balanced and varied diet for your patients.

Dual-view

Reviewing the entire diet after processing can take a long time. For this reason, Nutribook has decided to make this process simultaneous with the creation of the diet itself, enhancing the food distribution strategy with the dual display mode for days or meals.

Frequently, you may find yourself recommending common breakfasts or meals with a similar composition. Rather than repeatedly entering each item, why not create personalized meals and save them in your database? This not only saves time but also enriches your collection of dishes and recipes. Instead of selecting 5 or 6 items separately, you can effortlessly incorporate your standard sweet vegetable breakfast into your plan with a single click.

Automatic calculation and home measurements

Your patients will appreciate the ability to measure, for example, olive oil in tablespoons or yogurt in jars instead of grams, making the dietary recommendations more user-friendly.

Alternative foods

To promote a diverse dietary experience, Nutribook's database provides a broad selection of alternative foods for each primary item.

The software ensures utmost flexibility to accommodate various working methods and the specific requirements of each patient. There is no single criterion for determining alternative foods; Nutribook offers you the flexibility to choose alternatives based on calorie equivalence or a nutrient of your preference.

Notes

Anticipate your patients' doubts and guide them by adding notes. You can use this precious tool to give indications of purchase, preparation, and consumption. Add recommendations within individual foods, in the meal, or for the whole day. If the notes are just for you, you can decide to make them invisible to the patient and not show them in personalized printing.

Check of caloric and nutritional intake

Automatic quantity adjustment guarantees your calorie and nutrient intake aligns with your goals, but you can adjust things as needed. Compare the macronutrients and calories suggested with those in your Diet Goal. These values instantly update when you add new foods or change quantities, keeping you in constant real-time control of your nutrition.

You can control them at a glance and different levels:

• Nutrients and calories of each individual food proposed;
• Nutrients and calories from each individual meal;
• Nutrients and total calories of the day.

Thanks to the focus on micronutrients you are sure to offer the amounts recommended by the LARN for each specific type of patient.

Share extra content with your patient

Individuals seeking the expertise of a nutrition professional are often driven by a desire to enhance their quality of life. Well-being is intricately linked to nutrition, working in synergy with various other lifestyle factors.

Additionally, a comprehensive table allows you to compare the micronutrients supplied by the newly formulated diet with the LARN reference values.

You have the option to share the report with particularly interested patients or, if preferred, streamline the plan by excluding it from the print file. This flexibility enables you to tailor your approach to each patient's needs and preferences effectively.

Share your meal plan

Like the whole process for creating diets on Nutribook, the final document generated is also highly customizable: choose which information to include in the print to share with your patient, and the easily accessible graphics will do the rest.

You have the flexibility to choose whether to print the diet or opt for a more environmentally friendly approach by sending it directly to the patient via e-mail, whenever feasible. This eco-conscious option aligns with sustainable practices and can contribute to reducing paper waste.
