NUTRITION MAKER Reviews

I like most the huge variety of pre-built menu plans and recipes.

It's a little cumbersome to build a menu plan.

Easy to use! You can save favorite foods for fast searches on menu planning. I utilize the custom macro ratios that you can apply when creating a menu plan.

No mobile application available. It would be nice to have a more modern look to the softer, that is more visually engaging for the client. It would be great to have an app, where you can communicate with clients and they can actually log there own food choices, record their weight, etc. At times, website glitches when creating a menu. It will not save foods as favorites.

Eric, we do have a mobile app planned on our development schedule. Also, clients can access on tablets. Please contact us regarding your glitches. We have had no reports of such issues and if you contact us, we can resolve your issue.

The software has a lot of useful features. Once a meal plan is created, there are numerous features that can be accessed that are useful analytical tools. The micronutrient breakdown is quite useful. The shopping list is nice as well.

The ability to set custom calories and macros is not available in this software. This makes it incredibly difficult to be specific to what each client requires. A generic algorithm is used and I feel that this limits this software terribly. Another issue with this software is the databases that the foods are pulled from. They are limited and if the food isn't spelled correctly for how it is listed, the software will not pull it up.

Wiley, thanks for the feedback. We feel we must point out that Nutrition Maker does have the ability to set custom calories and macros. Our food databases come directly from the USDA, Australian and Canadian food databases. Additionally we have added many food from private industry. We do offer a variety of search options so that one does not have to spell correctly.

I like the easy drag and drop and the calculations are all accurate

The online version doesn’t auto save so many time the website freezes and I lose everything. I don’t like the copy and paste BC when you do that it changes all the copy and paste you’ve done. So if I copied and pasted a food and changes the oz it also changes the oz in the meal I copied it from

Thanks for your feedback. Our support dept fixed the minor glitches you reported. Regarding foods data on cooked and uncooked, the data base includes both most of the time; however that is direct from the USDA and other sources which is beyond our control. We are happy to add any extra food data if you contact us. And of course you can add to it as well.

The fact that there are many ready-made nutrition programs helps me to give ideas to my client about program preparation and nutrition.

The program sometimes acts independently so i need to reach technical service to fix it this is a waste of time. You can only register five customers at a time. This is such a low number that it definitely needs to be increased.

Orhan, Nutrition Maker can be licensed for any number of clients. We have plans for up to 100 or more clients. Regarding support, we have no records of the issue you mention. contact our support dept and they will be able to get you set up so no more support is needed.

Very easy product to use and appropriately priced compared to the competition. I enjoy using it and there is a large database. Pre-filled recipes are also helpful to have, which is included.

Strange food options sometimes and a little too many branded items. Very no frills and dates keep acting strange when input.

Regarding your dates issue, if you contact our support dept, they can help you.

It has a huge library or pre made meal plans that are easy to modify for my clients. The client portal is great my clients get all of their information online. I no longer have to enter my clients diet histories. My clients can enter their own food log on the website with my logo. It is a great tool for working with my clients remotely and in person.

I have no complaints about the software.

It's easy to use and set-up on the admin side of things.

The app can use some work. The food log and exercise functionality are archaic. Users should be able to upload an existing pic of food rather than having to take it only within the app. Additionally, users should be able to add their own workout in the exercise log because sometimes they do their own exercises.

Nutrition Maker is designed for nutrition, not exercise, thus the reason for no exercise logs. We have another program which offers nutrition, exercise and fitness testing for personal trainers (Total PT Fitness). We will be adding the food log feature in the upcoming months

It comes with a lot of features for the money

Not able to make menu edits as easily as other menu software companies. For example, if I want to add a snack after dinner I don't see any way to do this.

Kathy, it is possible to add a snack category to any meal plan. Contact us and we can show you how.

Easy to use and great tool to work with clients through

Food history tool needs to be added to the app. Photos of food doesn’t do anything for the client or the coach

We will be adding a detailed food log for client app in the near future.

Affordable software to use for a baseline nutrition needs and nutrition analysis

The nutrition database is very weak with a limited choice of foods to select from when entering a client's daily nutrition intake. Also, you are only able to enter five clients at a time.

Thank you for your comments. We feel our nutrition database is quite strong with over 25,000 foods including US, UK, and Australia and many private brand restaurants. You are signed up for the 5 client plan which is why you can only have 5 clients at any one time. We do offer plans for 25, 50, 100 or even more clients if needed. Additionally you are able to copy and edit plans or create your own. And we have hundreds of available recipes.

In general, it has been perhaps the best venture to my business. I began with the work area form and moved up to online rendition. I attempted another online programming for correlation and Nutrition Maker was the awesome my requirements and internet counseling model.

Generally very satisfied with the software. No complains at all!

Nutrition Maker is great and truly pays for itself. Your clients will appreciate this investment .

It's technology, sometimes it has a mind of its own and i have to call send an email to get it right. It's happened twice in 6 months both times were handled extremely quick. Same day

The calculations of calories and macro's. The ability to save and make changes. Clients are able to use the program to track their progress.

The questionnaire can not be edited. That there is not an ap available.

Chonda, we are happy to add questionnaire forms if you wish to submit them for review. And we have an app planned for the future.

The meal planning with caloric calculator is the best feature that I can say. We use on the daily thank you

I can't say anything that I can see anything that needs changing. Everything is streamlined well and set up amazing

I like the the variety of diets. I just wish there were even more.

I think there needs to be more clinical menu plans. It would be nice to have a low Fodmap's, anti-inflammatory. ketogenic, paleo, and low purine.
