Introduction
Welcome to JXCirrus CalCount...
What is JXCirrus CalCount?
It is a calorie diary. It lets you record what you have eaten
during the day, and tells you how many calories you consumed. You
can also use it to record how much exercise you did during the
day, and how many calories you burnt off.
Who is it for?
Anyone who wants to keep an eye on what they are eating.
- People who are trying to lose a bit of weight.
- People who are trying to eat more healthy food (less salt and
sugar, more fibre).
- People who are in the middle of a big fitness kick and want to
record their whole exercise regime.
What sort of things does it do?
And now for the big feature-laced sales pitch:
- Shows you a summary view, including missing meals, targets to
watch, and progress graphs (the Home
Page).
- Shows you daily totals for calories, as well as many other
nutrients (the Diary).
- Lets you build up a set of foods that you eat most often (My Foods).
- Contains a huge database of foods with their calorie and
nutrient amounts (the Food Database).
- Lets you build up a set of common exercises and the amount of
energy they burn off (Exercise).
- Lets you enter data from fitness trackers and smart watches (User Details).
- Lets you record your weight as you go (Measurements).
- Lets you build up recipes made up of other foods (Adding New Recipes).
- Automatically gives you your target number of calories and
other nutrients based on age, height and weight (User Details, Targets).
- Lets you add special targets for your exercise (Recording Exercise).
- Lets you see a summary of your food intake over the previous
year (Summary Page).
- Adjusts calorie targets for expecting mothers.
Where do I start?
Well, there are two ways to get started. You can dive in and just
start using the application - If that sounds like your way, then
just close (or hide) this manual, and give it a go. You can get
back to this manual at any time, either by pressing the handy
"Help" buttons that show up on some of the dialogs, or by
selecting the Help menu and choosing User Manual.
On any dialog, if you press on the toolbar between the
buttons, you will be shown a menu that lets you get tooltips or a
link to the user manual.
Alternatively, you can keep going with this manual. Just click on
the Getting Started link at the end of this page:
