DASH Diet support

antsybunch — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 00:01:22 GMT

I would really be able to use BigOven a lot more in my houshold if it supported DASH Diet menu planning. In this lifestyle/diet I often need to add a large number of individual plain whole foods to my menues. I realize that your purpose is to make shopping list for the recipes but it would be EXTREMELY helpful if I could also add individual items like, "8 grape tomatoes" or "1 small peach" to my menu. When I am planning so very many produce items in my menues, the fact that I can only schedule recipes per-se makes the menu feature all but useless to me. As a busy mother of 9, I don't have time to plan my menues on Big Oven just to have to revamp the entire thing in order to add my individual items and portions.

Items that I would need to enter individually in my menu would include: produce items, dairy items (milk, yogurt, and some cheeses), whole grains (like hot cereals) etc. I also use measured quantities of things like dry cereals and such.

Importing meal plans/calendar of recipes

As far as I can tell there is no option to import or upload a meal plan. It would be nice to create a meal plan and share it with others. I've been searching for a meal plan for hypoglycemics/diabetics that would enable you to adjust the quantities, etc. Being able to import such a plan would be a great help to many people who don't have the time or resources to create their own diet.

Feature Request: Save Meal Plan

I've recently switched over from a very old version of Master Cook. One thing I miss about the Master cook is the ability to save meal plans (unless I've missed that somehow). I like to make several weeks of meal plans and reuse them. It would be nice if I could just save them and bring them up when needed instead of redoing it for specific dates. It would also be nice if I could manually put in the nutrition information on items not currently on the list (which is currently quite limited.) There should be more ingredients in the list that don't need manually entered. Even things as simple as fettucine and other pasta names aren't in there, I have to link to macaroni. Also, the units are a bit cumbersome. There should be standard can sizes. I have to admit that as nice as this program is, the features on my ancient Master Cook 2.0 served me better. It just won't work on Vista! I have hopes that you will continue to improve BigOven!

Add Daily Nutrition Total

Nice program - good balance between ease of use and features for the individual user.

Calendar suggestion: Show total nutrition per day per serving.

Also, I agree with a previous suggestion to include weekly/montly calendar views.

Thanks.
