Make the most of stored foods - nutrition calculators

[papaof2]

The ones in Excel can be downloaded for use on your PC as long as you have power to charge the battery - or external power for it. You can always add your own food products as you learn their values.

Use these as a starting place (some are linkable, others are manual input only) or search for

The "little" PCs such as the Dell 3180 with 11" screen that I posted a couple of years ago would be a good option in SHTF because its power needs are measured in a single digit number of watts. A 20 watt solar panel, 12 volt battery and a 5.5/2.1 coaxial jack to a Dell power connector (couple of bucks on Ebay) would let you run it on 12 volts.

Papa, the following link goes to someplace different than what it shows:
www.ars.usda.gov/northeast-area/beltsville-md-bhnrc/beltsville-human-nutrition-research-center/nutrient-data-laboratory/docs/sr28-download-files/

It goes to the Methods and Application of Food Composition Laboratory (MAFCL) home page. I am not seeing any links there to the downloads.

This link should take you to their list of databases:
www.ars.usda.gov/northeast-area/beltsville-md-bhnrc/beltsville-human-nutrition-research-center/methods-and-application-of-food-composition-laboratory/mafcl-site-pages/database-resources/

See if there is anything useful there.

I've been dis-assembling a Ryobi 40 volt string trimmer battery that the charger does not like and at this point my hands and my neck are hurting, not to mention my back, from sitting in a basement workspace for far too long :-(
The 3s2p segment I'll get out of the 5s2p pack (half the battery's cells in each of two packs) will replace the 3s1p pack of laptop battery cells in a hand vacuum. The cells are LG 2.4AH but designed for "high drain" so the pack will be 4.8AH and that's more than double the original NiCd battery pack. Just need the finish separating the cells from the plastic holder. It seems that I'm beyond what I can do with some serious wire cutters and it's time to put a saw blade in the Dremel and the battery pack in the vise with the plastic jaw pads...

These are all a year or so old so the USDA has probably reshuffled thing - AGAIN.

If the rest of the links are good, it's more than you usually get after a year :-)

That one worked.

Look out! He's got the Dremel out.

[papaof2]

Probably the rechargeable Dremel because it's about 50 years newer than the corded one - but that one also works...
