Wow. It's been almost 3 years without any interest. 2021 must be the year of Salt and Rice.

You need to drag over Evan Balster's spreadsheet plugin from the plugins. And you need to drag over: DayLog ViewTemplate <http://carbocommander.tiddlyspot.com/#DayLog%20ViewTemplate> FoodItem ViewTemplate <http://carbocommander.tiddlyspot.com/#FoodItem%20ViewTemplate> CarboConfig If you want my pre-configured set of foods, you need to find something tagged with "FoodItem" and drag the tag to your file.

Whether you can do the things you want depends exactly on what you're thinking of. At the moment it just does what is presented -- allows you to keep a log of (theoretically) 20 nutrients. It tallies up the totals for your chosen nutrients on any given day. It presents the first nutrient in detail. You can copy an existing item, modify it (especially the "field" value). Then add that field name to your daily log fields at the bottom of your daily log tiddler. Inside the CarboConfig tiddler you can set how many nutrients to calculate, and which ones. To facilitate the process of adding new foods, there is an existing database of 8000 items modified for CarboCommander over at: https://nutrition-database.tiddlyhost.com// It will take several seconds to load. Type into the search box some key term (e.g. "kellog", "banana", ) and you'll find dozens (hundreds?) of hits. Navigate to one that's close to what you want. Then drag and drop into your working TW file. Edit to suit your needs. > Really I'm most interested in 1) Carbohydrates, 2) Sodium, 3) Fat and 4) > Protein in each item. > Carbs, Sodium, and Protein are fields that are already represented in the food database. For Fat, you'll either have to create your own field, or use the more specific FA Mono, FA Saturated, FA Poly which was how the USDA database represented the nutrients. This was all built using Evan Balster's math formulae. Now there are enough math tools inside TW to do it without them. I guess if I was doing it now I'd use those instead, because I recall having to do a lot of tricky wikifying to get Evan's tools to work with this data.
