Another question/ request for our amazing leadership team here at BT

Okay, so I am entering in information off of custom foods, and everything is going find copying over the data from the label, until I get to the Vitamins and Minerals section, then i run into the hassle of having to convert 4% of Vitamin A to x number of mgs (or whatever.) Is there a way to put in a side by side column that gives you the choice to either enter in the actual measurement, or the percentage? I know the percentage is based off of the FDA's Daily Recommended Values, but those numbers haven't changed for over 20 years I think.

What do you all think?

Ahhh...I was afraid you were going to ask me that You're not the first, but I will make you the last. My programmer and I have discussed this before and what we can do is have a 'back calculation' so you enter the % and it will spit out the mg's for things having the recommended daily allowance.

How about I will put it up for the items to do this month....I will get back to this thread when done.

Gentlemen, we have just added the %DV to nutrient weight for 'custom' foods. They are based on a 2,000calorie diet and the calculations are from 1998 recommendations: http://www.netrition.com/rdi_page.html Let me know if you know of more current ones.

The attached pic explains it all, just hit the %DV button and input the number based on a 2K calorie diet, it will then spit-out the nutrient weight.

BETA! Please check the math, let me know if any errors.
