Update
When you install an automatic update, you just have to install the suitable file that you have beforehand
downloaded on your computer.
When you install an update manually, you must follow this procedure:
1. Keep preciously and in a sure place a copy of the folder Data.
2. Uninstall completely all versions of the software of your computer.
3. Install the new version of the software Alimenthèque™ that you have beforehand downloaded on
your computer.
4. Go to the Alimentheque folder that you just create, and put in it a copy of the Data folder that you
preciously kept at the beginning of the procedure.
5. Open the software.
A window will inform you that the software carries out an update. This operation makes it possible
to import all your data in the new version.
The update can also be forced with the data inside the Data folder.
This procedure should then be followed:

How to calculate the nutritive value of a recipe?
To calculate the nutritive value of a recipe, you must:
1. Select, upon Menu, the [Nutritive Value Calculation: Recipes] option.
2.
Click on the [Create] button.
3. Enter the required information in the [Description] tab.
You must fill the name and the category of the recipe (mandatory fields).
You must identify the recipe yield, meaning the serving size for which the nutritive value
will be calculated.
To be noted that there is no difference between the as sold and as prepared weight value,
unless there is an identified cooking loss.
If necessary, you have to figure out the recipe cooking loss (caused by the evaporation
during preparation and/or cooking).
If necessary, you have to identify nutrients retention during preparation and/or cooking.
The default values are 100% of retention, meaning no nutrients loss. If a different value
(not 100%) is selected for a nutrient, the nutritive value for this nutrient will take into
account the estimated loss.
You must select a Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) only if you want to evaluate the nutritive
value of your recipe according to a standard.
Remark
It is only possible to estimate the nutrient retention for the recipe as a whole.
4. Select the [Ingredients] tab.
You must select and insert the different ingredients of your recipe one by one.
If you can't find your ingredient in the database, you must find the nutritional value of this
product and then create a new item in the database.
See also: How to?-How to add an item to the database?
Remark
If no ingredient appears, it is possible that no databases as been selected in the top-right
corner of the screen.
The more precise the choice of your recipe's ingredients are, the more the nutritive value
calculated will be close to the real value.
5. If desired, you can enter a preparation method (or any other personal notes) selecting the
[Method] tab.
6. You can now see your recipe's nutritive value per serving selecting the [Nutritive Value] tab.
(However, you should have identified the yield of the recipe.)
7. You can also visualize or print various information about your recipe selecting the [Reports] tab.

How to calculate the nutritive value of a dietary
evaluation?
To calculate the nutritive value of a dietary evaluation, you have to:
1. Select, upon Menu, the [Nutritive Value Calculation: Dietary Evaluations] option.
2.
Click on the [Create] button.
3. Enter the required information in the [Description] tab.
You must fill the name and a short description of the dietary evaluation (mandatory fields).
You must identify the duration (the number of days for which the nutritivel value will be
calculated).
You must select a Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) only if you want to evaluate the nutritive
value of your recipe according to a standard.
4. Select the [Foods] tab.
You must select and insert the different products of your dietary evaluation one by one.
If you can't find your product in the database, you must find the nutritional value of this
product and then create a new item in the database.
See also: How to?-How to add an item to the database?
Remark
If no products appears, it is possible that no databases as been selected in the top-right
corner of the screen.
The more precise the choice of your dietary evaluation's ingredients are, the more the
nutritive value calculated will be close to the real value.
5. If desired, you can enter personal notes selecting the [Notes] tab.
6. You can now see your dietary evaluation's nutritive value ( average per day) selecting the
[Analysis] tab. .
7. You can also visualize or print various information about your dietary evaluation selecting the
[Reports] tab.

How to?
How to use a subrecipe in the calculation of the
nutritive value?
It happens that a subrecipe is used in many recipes. To avoid always rewrite the same ingredients, you
can calculate the nutritivel value of this subrecipe, and add this subrecipe in the product database. You
can then choose this subrecipe as an ingredient in your recipe.
To add a subrecipe in the product database, you have to:
1. Calculate the nutritive value of the subrecipe.
See also: How to?-How to calculate the nutritive value of a recipe?
2. Select the [Description] tab and click on the [Add this recipe to product database] button.
Remark
The nutrititive value stored in the product database will not change if you change the
nutritive value of the subrecipe. The only way to modify the nutritive value stored in the
product database is to click again on the [Add this recipe to product database] button.

How to?
How to find a recipe already created?
To find a recipe, you can:
1. Select, upon Menu, the [Nutritive Value Calculation: Recipes] option.
2. Search in the recipe's list:
by alphabetical order
by category,
by keyword: to launch a research, press the research key ,
by ingredient: select the [Research by Ingredient] tab, write the name (or a part of the
name) of the ingredient searched and launch the research by pressing the research
key.
Remark
It is possible that you have difficulty to find a recipe if its name contains a typing error.
You can then search by keyword by entering only a part of the recipe's name you are
looking for.
You can also search by ingredient with an ingredient that you know to be listed in the
recipe.

How to?
How to add an item to the product database?
To add a new item to the product database, you have to:
1. Select, upon Management Tools, the [Modify the product database] option.
2.
Click on the [Create] button.
3. Enter the required information in the [Description] tab.
You must fill the name, the group and the reference of the product (mandatory fields).
You have to fill the price if you want to calculate the food cost of a recipe.
You can create conversion card by selecting the addition icon.
Remark
If there is no conversion cards, basics cards will be ceated (g and kg). Otherwise, this
option will allow you to create a custom conversion card. However, you should pay
attention to detail in the definition of these conversions. You can inspire yourself with data
founded under the [Composition Table] option, selecting Conversion Table for a given
item.
The measure units for which exist conversion cards correspond to measure units that can
be selected if the item is included in a recipe or a dietary evaluation
4. Select the [Nutritive Value for 100g] tab.
You must insert one by one the different values for different nutrients for 100 g (edible
part). The shaded boxes correspond to nutrients that must appear in a Nutrition Facts
Table (NFT).
Remark
It is necessary to pay attention to the measure units that can vary for certain nutrients.
If no value is entered, it will be technically considered as a mathematical 0, but it will be
also identified in different places as a missing value (a data for which there is no value).
