## 4. Alternatives

I know I like to check out many possible programs before settling on one to learn to use--and I always like trying new programs too. Here are some possible alternatives to Pantry that you might take a look at:

NUT

  This is probably the leading nutrient analysis program for Unix. It has a text user interface and is very mature. NUT website.

Crosstrainer

  The best GUI program for nutrient analysis that I have ever seen. It does more than nutrient analysis, too--for example it can track your exercise too. (Pantry will never do anything other than nutrients.) Crosstrainer only runs on Windows though, and I have not used Windows in quite awhile. Crosstrainer is also somewhat expensive. Crosstrainer website.

nutritiondata.com

  This website has great tools, and neat graphical features. Using it as a food diary is somewhat cumbersome, however. nutritiondata.com website.

Fitday

  This is the best food diary website that I have found. Fitday website.
