Food and Nutrition
NUT — Food and nutrition database, records and analyzes meals.
From user input, and from data in the (included) U.S. Dept. of Agriculture Nutrient Database for Standard Reference, NUT analyzes meals for nutrient composition, and more.
From the docs, some of NUT's features:
- Record Meals: Foods are found in the database, a number of servings, weight, or calories is entered, and thus a meal is recorded showing the amount of each food eaten.
- Analyze Meals and Food Suggestions: An analysis of meals in the database is presented in terms of the percentage of each nutrient, where 100% signifies a rate of 100% of the DV (Daily Value) per day.
- View Foods: Foods can be viewed using the same interface as for "Record Meals," specifying whatever serving size the user wishes to see analyzed for nutrient content,
- Add Foods and Modify Serving Sizes: This item has three selections, "Add a Recipe," "Add a Labeled Food," and "Modify Serving Sizes."
- Plot Daily and Monthly Trends.
- Print Menus from Meal Database.

LVB — Phylogenetics program.
"lvb seeks parsimonious trees from an aligned nucleotide data matrix. It uses a simulated annealing heuristic search. In contrast to the more usual heuristic searches (stepwise addition and/or hill-climbing), simulated annealing can 'jump out' of local optima. Especially with large, complex data matrices, the simulated annealing heuristic may run faster and/or find a shorter tree."
