• Extra calories (or kilojoules) for the meal. If all you want is to track is the
energetic value of a meal and you happen to know what it is, you can simply
enter it there, without providing additional information. Note that the nutrients
will remain zero for this meal.
• Additional servings for the meal (see Figure 18). This is useful when you eat a
meal composed of a variety of food items: instead of entering each of them
individually, you can estimate how many servings of each food group the
meal is composed of, and only enter the servings. MyPersonalDiet uses
average energetic values per food group serving, as displayed in following
table (values are rounded for simplicity)
Food group Total cal. Cal. from carbs Cal. from prot. Cal from fats
Starch (grains) 90 68 8 14
Protein 179 29 56 94
Fruit 98 90 3 5
Vegetables 69 52 8 9
Dairy 102 16 27 59
Fats, oils, etc. 108 31 4 73
