Feb. 7 - Dietitians of Canada Launches Recipe Analyzer

Canadians now have a new tool to help them make healthy eating choices. Dietitians of Canada is pleased to announce the launch of Recipe Analyzer.

Recipe Analyzer is a unique interactive on-line tool that offers consumers a quick and easy way to assess the nutritional value of their favourite recipes. To use the tool, simply visit the Dietitians of Canada website here and click on Recipe Analyzer.

Recipe Analyzer lets you enter the list of ingredients of any recipe and then get:

- A full nutrient profile for a serving of that recipe
- The number of Food Guide servings the recipe provides
- Tips on how to change the recipe to make it more nutritious.

"This is a great addition to our healthy eating resources," says Susan Fyshe, registered dietitian. "Recipe Analyzer is simple to use, and offers consumers a practical way to help plan healthy meals for themselves and their families."

Users can create an on-line recipe binder and save their recipes, and they can also do comparisons of two different recipes to see how they measure up nutritionally.
