Eat healthier and cheaper! Study your own nutrition and that of others! Learn and Do Phytotherapy! Etc. See: Usage possibilities
Three years of work, planning, huge compilation of data, translation, database transfer, programming, testing, documentation and instructions. Extremely versatile, easy to use NutrOpt3 software, see below!
Veikko Pyhtilä has developed NutrOpt3 nutrition software with information content as a hobby in 2003-2017. It has been installed and has been used for experimental purposes by more than 20 people. postdoctoral researcher, nutrition therapist, domestic science teacher, diet chef, personal trainer, diabetic, IT specialist, wellbeing marketer and many more regular users. The experience has been mostly positive and feedback has been taken into account in the development, the latest version being made in 2016.
The following icon will launch the program after installation (TietoVeikko software brand, describes data filtering)
or from the menu Veikko J. Pyhtilä / Nutrition Optimization.
The program must be activated on your computer, see the installation instructions below.
Login Window
1. Enter the Administrator, User, or Guest ID and Password. The same software package is sold to everyone, with different usernames controlling what information can be added, deleted and updated.
Main Window
From the main window you can access various windows and the user manual.
Common buttons and functions in windows
The window-specific help you get with the ? button provides more details. On tables you need to click the line button so that the line will be selected, if you just click on the content field, the line will not be selected for actions. If you ever get error messages, reply with OK and correct the situation and continue as usual. The program has versatile error handling and has been thoroughly tested over a decade. If an exclamation mark appears in the input field on a red background, the information is missing, fill in the field, and save from the floppy disk icon.
Eaters or Diets and Review Nutrient Intakes
2. Provide basic information about diners or diets and calculate recommendations with the program. After filling your diet lines, update your intake and compare your nutrient intake with the recommendations. You can view the over-intakes and nutrient information for the selected nutrient for guidance. You can see which foods you are getting the nutrients from and how much. You can then go on to change the amounts and thus optimize your diet for nutrients. Fully automated optimization cannot be done because there are a huge variety of options, but you can choose which foods you add or subtract. These windows display the nutrient values for which there are the latest Finnish nutrition recommendations or modified recommendations entered by the administrator, using one of the names of the recommendation criteria. In addition, there are worldwide recommendations for essential amino acids. There are other significant nutrient values in the window that have no official recommendations or information, in which case the recommendation is set to zero. Other nutrient values such as phytochemicals, antioxidants can only be viewed in the Nutrition Study window.
Maintenance of Diets or Menus
3. Fill in your current diet or plan a better one. You can search for foods by icons, keywords, or the healthiest foods in the world by different health effects, and then click the appropriate table row. You can click on the column headings in the nutrient table and sort by selected nutrient from highest to lowest or vice versa. You can update the default portion sizes and give guide prices or edit the ones already entered. When choosing, you can compare prices, nutrient values, and the food itself to optimize prices. You can copy the diets you have already entered into the template in different ways, see the program’s window-specific help for more details, the question mark button for instructions. You can then draw a graph to see if your daily nutrient intake is below or above your recommended levels. You can also search for health tips and information on the effects of nutrients. If health claims are made with food, they will appear in the right text box. Once you have entered your diet you can go back to step 2.
Collection of Dieats of Various Meals
You can also view the menu as large, where you can reduce or increase the percentages with multiple line selections or delete rows. You can access it from both the diner and menu entry windows.
Health Tips
You may want to look at health tips while eating diets. The administrator can supplement and edit the basic information tips. There are also medicinal effects and substitutes for not suitable foods that can be accessed and edited with administrator privileges.
Help Directory
Help directory, opens from the main window and links to help topics. Also included are information packs, some of which you can now read online, even on your smartphone, to take a look at Soul and Body Wellbeing.
Food Groups Distributions
You can view the proportion of vegetables, fruits, berries, meat, drinks, etc. in the diet of different individuals or groups of people in the diet by weight of foods and drinks. For example, cancers and cardiovascular diseases are less likely to be affected, and the resistance to and the coping with diseases are reduced by eating large amounts of fresh vegetables, berries and fruits. But all groups are suitably needed for good general condition.
Shopping and Ordering Lists
You can print shopping / ordering lists for selected diners or as menu dishes for selected diners and for hundreds of thousands of people, including guide prices and weights added together.
Nutrient-relevant Health Information
You can search and update nutrient-relevant health information that displays information on various screens for nutrient information searches.
Food recipes
General basic food recipes have already been entered. You can change them or enter new recipes and calculate their nutrient content, taking into account cooking methods. The foods are then selectable in the input of the Maintenance of Diets window. You can update also food weight information.
Nutrient content of food recipes
Nutrition research
You can do a thorough nutrition study. You can compare nutrient intake between individuals and / or diets with many different choices and scales. There are also many phytochemicals, antioxidant values, etc. for which there are no official nutritional recommendations. I do not know of other general nutrition programs that have these levels of phytochemicals available, but their effects on health are widely researched worldwide. By choosing a large amount of nutrients for the drawing at a glance, you can quickly see the differences between different individuals, such as phytochemicals and common vitamins, trace elements, and main nutrients, when doing a comparative nutrition study. Scaling gives you a clearer or sharper look at the differences. Because nutrient values are in so many different size units, you have to scale to make them appear in the charts. You can make a model diet that you compare to your nutritional intake, here it is compared to a weight management diet. So you can do a lot of research, very quickly and visibly – you need a researcher’s grip and a researcher’s joy. You can use Alt-PrintScreen on your computer to take pictures from program result windows, paste it into Paint or other drawing programs, or directly into your research article. At the bottom of the scoreboard numbers you can get your document by clicking on it inversely selected in the upper left corner and Ctrl-c on the clipboard and Ctrl-v on your document.
Nutrient Information
For example, you can search for bioflavonoids in the Nutrient Information and draw an illustrative diagram of Nutrient Differences where you get from the Nutrition Research window. See Nutrients Differences below!
Nutrients Differences
Below are the nutrients differences drawn from berries with a scale of 1-100. You can use the Multiple Choice to select the BERRIES group, then the Flavonoids group, and draw a chart. Similarly, each of 128 different nutrient values can be plotted with different scales. For drawing options, you can sort by group in the column header to get the Berries one after the other and Flavonoids in the second. You can make multiple selections one at a time by holding down the ctrl-key and clicking here from the rows in the selection table by the row button, or by pressing and holding the capital letter button in your computer keyboard in succession and clicking on the row button in the table’s first row and end row. Then, click on the Draw Graph button. You can also use the keyboards buttons to select, for example, the vitamins selected and to draw the vitamin contents of the selected foods. There are tremendous opportunities for choices and drawing. Other drawing windows have the same selection features.
Product Tracking to Compare Price, Quality and Origin
You can use product tracking to compare price, quality, origin. You can enter information such as purchase receipt, price tags, advertisements. This allows you to save a lot on your food expenses if you still opt for healthier, but cheaper, diets. If you are planning menus for a large group, then a little effort is worth it.
Nutrient Intake Levels or Proportions
You can compare nutrient intake levels or proportions with many different choices. If your energy supply is like a roller coaster, it will consume and age your body. It is also important for people with diabetes to keep their blood sugar levels steady at different times of the day. At first, especially when eating sugar, there is, for example, overactivity in children and then over-fatigue. For help with the program, see Adjusting the Glycemic Index and Load. What food combinations you eat also affects your blood glucose levels.
Herbs and Medicinal Plants
In the Herbs and Medicinal Plants window, you can search for the health benefits of herbs or their products, concentrated or diluted, obtained and studied over the millennia. A phytotherapist and other trained medical practitioner can record herbal dosing instructions for a variety of illnesses, and identify and record side effects, toxicity, and interactions with different drugs.
Profiling of effects and uses of herbs and medicinal plants
Profiling of effects and uses of herbs and medicinal plants. In the picture, herbs, which are also normal foods, have been selected for the illustration, and can already be used for phytotherapy in addition to nutritional therapy. However, beware of the use of medicinal plants, you must be sure what you are doing beause of adverse side effects. Information can be found in phytotherapy non-fiction books.
Most nutrients and other substances in foods
The most nutrient and other substances in foods window you can see for example the oxygen scavenging capacity, it is antioxidant capacity. It is most present in many spices, but they are used in small amounts. Berries also have a lot. See more with the program. You can also check the Other Nutrients Included option when entering diets in Maintenance of Diets window. Click there the column heading to get the foods from the most antioxidant to the least rich as you make your food choices. On the other hand our body uses radicals to kill microbes . Likewise, you will see useful phytochemicals in foods that have positive health effects. You can read more about them from Nutrition Information window.
The NutrOpt3 software also has many other windows and functions
Basic data
Basic information that can be edited or serviced with root privileges. You can make your own individual or for different groups, although different nutritional recommendations, depending on your health problems, update the nutrient losses in different cooking methods that affect the calculation of the nutrient content of a food. Account management allows you to change passwords, create new user accounts, eg guest cannot delete or change basic information. The Help folder must be C: / NutrOpt3 / Help by default to appear in the program. If you want to move the instructions elsewhere, you need to change the directory paths here. You can add and edit health tips. You can add healthy foods to your food suggestions based on your various health needs in the body, so they will be available in your diet when you search for healthy or suggestions. You can also remove choices. You can target effects to different herbs.
Food with Nutrients
You can standardize, add, delete, and modify the health claims of foods. The following Food with Nutrients window can also be updated with standard user rights, you can add more food. The information is mainly obtained from the USDA, the US Department of Agriculture’s authorized database. Some foods have environmental impact assessments as examples, but not exhaustively filled, the information can be supplemented. The environmental impact is also affected by how far food is transported, as transport increases the environmental burden. A lot of food imported from abroad is used in Finland as well, so a global database of nutritional values of foods is in place. The words in the original database are translated into Finnish and categorized by food category, you will see the original text in English. The link to the original source is in the database as a single key, which can be verified by a different program, if necessary, to verify the source and how the information was obtained. The nutrients in foods with a dietary intake are roughly calculated based on the staple foods and cooking methods, reducing the nutrient levels according to the Nutrition Loss Table in the program and the fluid reduction is calculated.
Customizing the NutrOpt3, Data and Information
So you can customize the data content of the NutrOpt3 environment and use it as a software platform for collecting knowledgebase. After installation, you can replace the database that comes with the installation with this customized database. With the permission of the author of NutrOpt3, you can market your customized database to customers who purchase NutrOpt3. There must be enough many changes that marketing of a custom database is accepted as an additional feature of NutrOpt3. You can prepare a huge number of sample diets that you have thoroughly researched on the health effects. Missing foods can be added programmatically at different charges, as long as there is a reliable source to take from, and where information is also provided for important phytochemicals that are missing from many nutrient databases.
If you weigh carefully and keep a diary for a month for 1-31 days, you will get a more accurate picture of nutrition. A long-term sample smooths out nutrient fluctuations between meals. You can observe by sampling, for example, the diets of winter, spring, summer and autumn, diets of a long-term and healthy person, and those who are ill. Other factors should be included in the study as an explanation that you can take away their distorting effect from the study. Nutrition data on foods are averaged, influenced by variety, soil, cultivation, industrial agriculture versus organic / bio-intensive cultivation or directly from nature, harvest time, storage, cooking method, etc. The new Food Scanner technology can be used to find out the nutrient content of a meal, Finns have won a major victory in its development competition, see from Internet for more.
You can also add information about the nutritional supplements available on the market. vitamin, trace elements and fish oils nutraceuticals. The nutrients are always fed per 100g, so you should first calculate the tablet’s nutrients per 100g and set the tablet weight to the default dose size. So it is possible to put together a varied collection of supplements to choose from to complement your diet under the Supplements group. I have found that I need nutritional supplements moderately and in appropriate mutual propotions, that I stay in top good condition and I do not need to eat too much energy. Excessive intake of one of the trace elements from dietary supplements can prevent the other trace elements from being properly absorbed and may even be toxic. Therefore, NutrOpt3 is also required to monitor the use of supplements.

Action Sequence
If you have an incurable illness or a weakness in old age, they can be alleviated if you can optimize and experiment with the best possible diet for your condition, that is, your bottom condition. An appropriate diet can prevent and promote disease. Getting to the peak requires proper rest and exercise, and otherwise a healthy lifestyle and avoiding harmful substances.
It also requires knowledge and experience on how to eat. Even though you are studying knowledge, knowledge is often left unused in practice, and things can not be remembered and controlled from here and there other than by making model diets, optimizing, experimenting and researching their effects and really following them. What you eat and your lifestyle affect both you and your offspring in the short and long term. There is a constant increase in scientific knowledge around the world, and the relationship between nutrition and health is also being clarified at the biological individual level. Nutrition recommendations are for the average person, but in order to be in top shape, you need to find your own optimal diet and recommendations, and also for your loved ones, who are different biologically. With diet, you can control the function of genes, your genome, turn the gene on and off, etc. You can study epigenetics, nutrigenomics, system biology, medicine, phytotherapy, biochemistry, nutrition therapy, nutrition science, etc., if only time and interest are enough. Diet affects the functioning of the brain, too, and the brain receives exercise, even when solving diet problems.
