RE: Re: Food Question about Computer Program

Thanks, Glenna! I just downloaded the Stanford one but it looks so confusing

that it may take me a while. Some of the values are so different. I'll follow

your advice and go with the labels.

Sorry I can't help you with your questions but I am sure someone will be along

soon who knows much more than I do!!

I hope all is well with you and your family! Happy New Year!

Re: Food Question about Computer Program

Hi ,

I used the land meal planner, too, until just the last month

or so. It seemed easier to me to use than the Stanford one I

downloaded, but now that I've switched I love the Stanford planner!

It has made her meal planning easier for me now that I've gotten

used to it. The land program is getting on in years now, so

some of the information may be out of date. You can go in and

add/edit food values, so I would do that based on the label from

what you are using.

By the way, anyone who reads this might be able to answer a

question or two that I have about the Stanford planner...

1. How do you add more meal plans than just the standard 8 or

so?

2. Each time I add a new food to the value database, it messes

up the meal plans I have saved. Any way to avoid this?

Thanks a bunch!

Glenna,

Are you adding the new food in alphabetical order? That will mess things

up because it changes the cell value for the meal plans you've already

done. Your new food won't be in alphabetical order, but if you add it to

the bottom of the food value list, your old meal plans won't change.

I did manage to add a few pages and room for 2 more item on each meal

plan, but I'd have to really think about how. Or I could email you a

copy of my revised planner.

...................Go to the tab at the bottom of each sheet. Right

click. Choose " copy or move. " Click on " make a copy. " This will make a

copy of that sheet. Right click again & you can rename it to whatever

you would like.

........................Add at the bottom & I don't " re-sort " to

alphabetize (drives Dh nuts,but is easier for me).

Hi Satnam. I use the planner recommended in Dr. Freeman's book. It is from

the PA Epilepsy Center, I think? (don't have the book with me; I'm at the

office). You have to get a prescription for it sent to them from your

dietician. It is also pricey- I think with shipping it was like $100.

There is a free one from the Stanford keto group that you can download off

of the computer. I took a look at it this weekend but it is different than

the one I am used to so I haven't used it. I think they both have values

that are different from what I see on labels on some foods, so be careful

with that. Otherwise, I think they're great to use! I am just starting to

venture out and make up more fun meals for Langan.

Let me know if you want the info on the planner I got. I can email it to

you from the house.

I hope Kristan is doing well. Take care!
