PeaCounter.com

I have created a nutrient analysis website that I think might be of use to many of my readers:

PeaCounter.com

You can create daily menus to see how much of each nutrient you are getting. It all started when I tried to create an Excel spreadsheet for people to calculate their amino acid intakes on VeganHealth.org’s Protein page many years ago. This was a terribly user-unfriendly and incomplete way to calculate amino acid needs and slowly but surely I created something I hope will be much better.

Two additional features of PeaCounter.com are:

1. All the Dietary Reference Intakes are listed at PeaCounter.com/dris.

2. You can quickly look up the nutrient amounts for a particular food and also create links that can be sent to others by clicking on the navigation bar in the top right.

I hope you will find it useful!
