Portable Foods Database

If you’re a health or biology teacher (or just dieting yourself), this USDA-created database looks quite useful. It lists calories, carbohydrates, fats, fiber and more for over 6,000 different foods. You can download to your Windows PC, or install it on a Palm-based handheld to take with you when you go grocery shopping or visit a restaraunt. Probably not a good idea to check the foods in the school cafeteria, though…
