DINE Healthy establishes the medical practice as facilitators of patients’ nutritional health. This is better than reliance on static diets or providing generalized dietary guidelines. The medical team can receive day-to-day food records to closely assist patients with their food choices and physical activity behaviors. DINE Healthy takes the guess-work out of food selections and checks for energy balance. It provides a mechanism for nutrient analysis to identify patients that are consuming diets high in fat, sodium, sugar and cholesterol and low in fiber and calcium. The medical team can develop dietary goals with patients that can be electronically reviewed to confirm compliance. Between office visits patients, the patients’ software can be used to monitor their caloric intake and energy balance.

DINE Healthy will:

• enable health professionals to monitor the food choices and nutritional habits of their patients,
• promote patient energy balance and health, and
• encourage communication between physicians and their patients.
