Supplements
The possibility for the user of creating and updating a personalized archive of
supplements, containing the products he/she wishes to use in the therapy, has
already been described in Chapter 1 of this manual (paragraph settings).
The Supplements function, contained in the Daily meals section, allows you to
assign one or more of these products in the patient’s diet-day while choosing
whether or not to include them in the calculation.
To assign a supplement proceed as in the case of the Manual introduction of the
food items of the Breakfast; once the product has been entered, on the left of the
box containing the code you will see the
symbol indicating that the product
will be considered in the calculation of the diet; if you wish to exclude it from the
calculation, click on the same symbol on which will appear a red cross .
If the supplement is included in the calculation of the diet, the relevant supplies in
terms of macronutrients (Proteins, Carbohydrates and Lipids) will be subtracted
from those available influencing the choice and the quantity of the food items
assigned in the diet; in the case in which the supplement is assigned outside of the
calculation, on the other hand, its supplies, both in terms of macronutrients as well
as micronutrients, will go to join those of the diet.
In the case in which the supplement assigned has been included in the calculation,
you will be able to assess the incidence of the product concerning the contribution
of the diet regarding the various nutrients, in the final Focus, that can be seen in
the Results section (Chapter 4).
