Default Nutrition info tracker for PalmOS?

Hello,

I am trying to find a program for a Palm OS PDA that would let me define a
"meal" consisting of various "food items", and have it track the nutrition
info for each item preferably seperately (calories, fat, saturated fat,
cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, sugars, protein, etc.) I
then want to be able to export this on my desktop computer and fuss around
with it in a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel.

For example... If I were to define my favorite combo meal at a resturant, I
want to be able to just say in the program that I ate "combo #4" and have it
just know what this consists of automatically from my predefined list. But,
I also want to be able to say that I ate, for example, a sandwich without
the pop that normally is included... without having to define the sandwich
nutrition info twice.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Jeff

How about just making a spreadsheet? I use the USDA food database for Palm
and Documents to Go to keep a log in Excel format.

Yes. When I searched a few months ago CalorieKing.com had the best program, though it
takes a lot of discipline to use it daily. But if you do use it you're bound to lose
wieght.
