Diet and exercise software for palm




















In the future, you can check your daily progress in one tap. It was developed with the same tools and programming language used to make the Palm operating system Palm OS. We used the most advanced techniques available to render graphics, manage data, and minimize power consumption, making it possible to draw detailed charts, smooth data, and store years of information.

We also tested this software on a wide range of devices, including PDAs up to four years old, with color, black and white, grayscale, and monochrome displays. For example, when colors are not available, it renders them using patterns. Look for several new features in our upcoming releases. Primary Tools Journal Records daily workouts, meals, measurements, blood sugar diabetes , general and medical information.

Charts Displays information and progress on five kinds of charts including line, bar, area and moving average graphs. Statistics Displays detailed statistics minimums, maximums, averages, totals and counts for any date range; includes every field in the journal.

BMI Calculates body mass index a widely accepted measurement of weight status ; automatically interprets result and tells how you rate.

Math and conversion key calculator for basic and advanced calculations; performs a wide range of conversions between metric and English.

Up to two people can share one copy on one Palm Pilot or phone each person creates their own profile and their data can be transferred to any desktop version.

The multi-user version is designed for personal trainers, fitness centers, hospitals and schools. Use it to track up to 25 clients at the same time on one device. Data for each client can be imported into any Multi-user or Network desktop version. Product Details Version: 1. Palm, Inc. Greenwood, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

To plot the goal weight in charts without the sloping diet plan, set the initial and goal weights to the same value and the start date before the first month in the log.

Exercise Ladder Reference The Hacker's Diet includes an optional exercise program , organised as a ladder of 48 rungs representing ascending levels of physical fitness with two sets of exercises: an introductory series for the first 16 rungs, and a more demanding "lifetime" set for the balance of the program. Anybody not on the verge of physical collapse should be able to complete the first rung, while the rungs at the top of the table will prove challenging to Olympic athletes and deep-end fitness nuts.

You progress at whatever pace suits you, toward whichever level of fitness you wish to achieve and maintain. The Palm tools include a concise exercise ladder table. There's no need to keep a print-out of the table from the book, and you'll always have the table at hand even when you're on the road.

No description of the exercises is given; if you're doing them every day, as recommended, the column headings will suffice. For more details, consult the exercise chapter in the book. You can display the exercise ladder by choosing it from the View menu of the Monthly Log form or by writing its shortcut letter "E", but it's easier by far to just tap the title of the "Rung" column in the Monthly Log form, which brings you directly here. Once the exercise ladder is displayed, scroll to your current rung and tap it--it changes to bold type and when you return to the form it will automatically be scrolled into view.

After you've completed the exercises for a given a day, tap the "Record" button; it will enter the current rung, shown in bold, into the "Rung" field in today's log entry and take you back to the Monthly Log form with today scrolled into view. The "Today" button returns you to the Monthly Log item for the current date. This form shows a calendar of months in the year of the log or chart you were viewing. Months for which a log exists are shown in bold face; those with no log in normal type.

Tapping on any box with a bold face month displays the log for that month. The navigation buttons to the left and right of the year at the top of the form take you to the previous and next year in the database, respectively.

If this is the first or last year in the database, the corresponding navigation button will not be shown. The "Today" button returns you to the Monthly Log item for the current date; the "Years" button displays the Year List form. To enter historical data for months in the past not present in the database, navigate to the year and tap the month you wish to create which will be shown in normal type, as it is not yet in the database.

An alert pops up which asks you whether you wish to create a new blank log for the month you tapped; choosing "Yes" creates the log and displays it in the Monthly Log form. Year List If you don't feel like scrolling through the years with the navigation buttons in the Year View form, tap the "Years" button and this form will present you with a list box showing every year for which a monthly log exists. A scroll bar is shown if necessary.

Tap on a year to show its Year View. To view a list of each and every monthly log in the database, tap the "Months" button. The "Trend" button displays the Trend Analysis form; the "Today" button returns you to the Monthly Log showing today's date. Month List This form shows the contents of the monthly log database at the lowest level--the month and year of every log in the database.

The first month of each year is left-indented to make year boundaries more evident when scrolling. Scroll to the month you wish to view, tap on its entry in the list box, and its Monthly Log will appear. The "Years" button takes you back to the Year List which shows years for which logs exist. The trend at the start of a month depends upon the trend at the end of the preceding month, and so on all the way back to the first month in the database.

Because trend computation is a computationally intensive task for a handheld platform, the Eat Watch application stores the trend carried forward from the previous month with the log data for each month, avoiding the need to compute the trend for previous months except in unusual situations for example, if you import a CSV file containing data for a month in the past, or enter or modify data for a prior month.

This is all handled automatically. These stored trend values are "fragile" in the sense that if a hardware or software error should manage to clobber the trend, it will result in incorrect trend and variance computation for all entries for the month, and there's no direct way to enter the correct trend carry forward to replace the bad value. To guard against such an eventuality, Eat Watch provides the ability to completely recompute all trends from the fundamental log entries.

To perform this, drop down the "Special" menu available only on the Month List form and tap "Recompute Trend". The title of the form changes to "Recomputing Trend - Wait" while the computation is in progress, then returns to the normal "Monthly Logs" title when it is complete. This recomputation can take a while--a minute or more for a decade's worth of logs. You'll probably never need to use this feature, but it's there just in case. Setting Preferences The Preferences form allows you choose among various options as to how you'd like log items stored and shown.

To display this form, press the Menu button while the Monthly Log form is displayed the default when you launch the Eat Watch application , then drop down the "Edit" menu and tap "Preferences". The preferences you can express are as follows: Private Log Data Weight and exercise log data will be marked as "private". Private records are not shown when the Security application has been used to hide private records, optionally with a password. Check this if you're concerned about your weight and exercise history falling into the hands of evil space aliens from planet Zorgon.

Protect Log Entries It's easy to accidentally tap in the wrong field and wreck an existing log entry, requiring one to tediously re-enter it. If this box is checked as it is by default , any tap in a non-blank Weight, Rung, or Comment field in the Monthly Log field is ignored, as are taps in dates after the present no "precognitive weigh-ins". If you need to change a prior entry for example, you discover you mis-transcribed it from a paper log , uncheck this box, fix it, then to be safe re-activate protection.

Use Colour If the handheld has a colour display, variances in Monthly Log entries are, by default, colour coded: red for positive, green for negative, and Monthly and Historical charts use colour to distinguish the various elements. If you prefer monochrome, uncheck the "Use Colour" box in the Preferences form. This item appears only on devices with colour displays.

Log Unit This item selects the unit of weight in which monthly logs are kept. Set it to the unit you use most frequently. You're free to change the log unit at any time, but the change only affects logs created subsequent to the change. Existing logs remain in the unit in effect at the time of their creation.

Display Unit Regardless of the log unit, you can display weight in the Monthly Log , Chart , and Trend Analysis forms in any of the available units. Changing the Display Unit does not convert the log to that unit, so you may change it as often as you wish without fear of losing precision.

When the Display Unit differs from the Log Unit, be sure to enter weight in the Monthly Log form in the Display Unit --it wouldn't make sense to write a number in kilograms at the end of a table displayed in pounds!

Your entry is stored, however, in the log unit. Since two decimal places are used when storing weight, the conversion entails negligible loss of precision.

Energy Unit In Europe, the energy content of food is often given in kilojoules, the SI unit of energy, instead of kilogram calories; one kilogram calorie is equal to about 4.

If you're used to thinking in kilojoules instead of calories, set the energy unit accordingly. When the energy unit is set to kilojoules abbreviated "kJ" , energy balance values in the Monthly Log , Chart , Trend Analysis , and Diet Calculator will use that unit. When a kJ value is entered in the diet calculator, it will be rounded to the nearest integral calorie equivalent.

Changing the energy unit only affects how food values are displayed in the various forms--you may change it as frequently as you wish without loss of precision in the database. Finding Items by Comment The Eat Watch application supports the Palm OS global find mechanism, searching the comment field of log entries and responding with links to logs which contain the search target. If you use the comments field to note travel destinations, you can quickly answer such questions as "When was I in Paris?

Tapping on the "September " item displays that month's log, scrolled so the first day whose comment included the text "paris" is visible. If you've marked log data private in the Preferences form, Find will search Eat Watch logs only if private records are not marked hidden by the Security application. Importing CSV Files If you've been keeping Hacker's Diet logs in Excel or another spreadsheet or database package, you may want to transfer your existing logs to the handheld so you'll always have them at hand.

Logs on the handheld are stored in a highly compressed form; unless you enter a lot of long comments, a decade's worth of logs consumes less than 20 Kb of memory on the Palm.

To do this, save the logs you wish to transfer to the handheld in Comma Separated Value. If you're using a different program to keep your logs, be careful the columns in the CSV file are the same as those used by the Excel macros. Only the Date, Weight, and Rung columns are transferred to the handheld--the other fields are recomputed as required. Following the convention of the Excel macros, comments appear as non-numeric entries in the Weight column; it isn't possible to attach a comment to a day for which a weight is entered.

This restriction is lifted in the Palm application, which provides a separate comment field. Let's assume you've exported your Excel log for the year into a file named weight Now you need to embed that file in a Palm database so the Eat Watch application can digest it. The PDBMake desktop utility, available for downloading from this site, allows you accomplish this. From the command line, navigate to the directory in which you've placed the.

Be careful to enter the -c and -t option arguments exactly as shown above including upper and lower case Palm developers will recognise these as the creator code and database type, which an application uses to identify files belonging to it. If all goes well, you'll now have a weight If you'd like to look inside this or other Palm database and application files, download a copy of the Palmdump desktop utility from this site. Now use your desktop installer utility to copy the.

This will transfer the database containing the CSV file to the handheld. When the HotSync is complete, launch the Eat Watch application. Whenever launched, it checks for CSV files transferred since it was last run. If one or more are present, the CSV Import form is automatically displayed. This form reads each CSV file in succession, adding valid entries to the handheld log database. A progress display shows the CSV file currently being imported the name you gave after the -n option when you ran PDBmake and the line in the file.

After completing each CSV file, it is deleted from memory in the handheld. You can import as many different CSV files as you like in one session as long as there is enough free memory on the handheld to store them and you remember to give each file a different name with the PDBmake -n option so they don't delete one another when they're installed. When all CSV files have been imported, the "Cancel" button changes to "Done" which, when pressed, takes you to the Year List form from which you can navigate to examine the logs you've just imported.

If you wish to transfer logs from a different application, it's easier to convert them to this more straightforward format instead of trying to mimic Excel.

Each entry in a new format log consists of the following comma-separated fields: Date Complete date of the entry, which may be expressed in any of the following forms, using July 20th, for the examples: Format Example s ISO European Two-digit year numbers 70 or greater are interpreted as while those 69 or less denote Any line in the CSV file which does not begin with a valid date in one of these formats is silently ignored.

This allows processing CSV files which contain headings or other material in addition to log entries.

Dates need not be in ascending order, but CSV importing is faster if all the entries for a given month appear as a block of consecutive lines. Weight Daily weight, as a decimal number. Decimal places beyond two are truncated not rounded.

If no weight was recorded for the day, this field may be blank. Weights are stored in the log using the Log unit you've chosen in the Preferences. If you need to import a log recorded in different units, you must convert it to the log unit on the handheld before importing it. Exercise Rung Rung in the exercise program completed for this day.

This is a whole number between 1 and 48 this is validated and the log entry ignored if outside this range--you can't use this field as an arbitrary number , or blank if you're not using the program or didn't exercise that day. Flag This field sets the "Flag" checkbox in the Monthly Log , which you can use to record any significant daily yes or no item for example, did you work out at the gym that day, or have pizza for lunch?

If the field is blank or the first character is "0" the flag is not set; any other value sets it. Comment This field supplies arbitrary text to appear in the comment field in the day's Monthly Log entry. Comments are limited to 80 characters, with longer comments in the CSV file truncated to this length. If the comment contains a comma, you must enclose the comment field in double quotes ".

To include a quote within a quoted comment, use two adjacent quotes. The "Cancel" button doesn't work, and I haven't the slightest idea why not. I've tried all kinds of twiddling with the event queue to no avail. You also can view graphs and reports that plot your progress. BFL Complete 1. BikeGears 1.
