Hmmm I really couldn't tell ya. I haven't come across such a program, but I guess it would be doable (specially since you can download the entire USDA food database to your pc, I have it on my Palm!)

yeah i'm thinking about incorperating the idea into my site, although that might take FOREVER to input all of the food results into a database.Quote:

Definetly an interesting problem...

true, one way you could try to solve such a problem would be by asigning values along with each food... like 1 for morning food, 2 for lunch, 3 for evening... and then just asign a value of "0" for universal foods that can be eaten anytime.Quote:
