(USDA National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference) and from the book “Composition tables of foods and Greek dishes”, 3rd Edn [Trichopoulou A. 2004, Parisianou Publications, Athens, GA]
What is “Nutritional Assessment”?

The change of “category” in your profile can be done in simple steps. In the beginning, you click at the unit “My Account” and you go to the sub- unit “Profile”, where you choose the box “Update Profile”. This way, people can change their date of birth. This procedure is also important for women of a reproductive age, who, after finding out that they are pregnant, must edit their profile, in order to get appropriate consulting. So, do not fear of editing your own profile and, above all, try to add new profiles in your own account!!
