How can Nutrition Data be customized for your goals?
On NutritionData, you can customize your display, analysis, and reports to reflect your individual nutritional needs and goals. Here's how:
1. In the navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Tools and select Preference Settings.
2. If you're not logged in, you'll need to enter your ND username and password. If you've never registered, click on "register" to create a username and password for your account.
3. On the preference setting page, you can select which categories of foods will display in your searches on ND. For example, if you don't wish to see food items from fast food restaurants, you can uncheck these boxes.
4. Further down the page, you can enter in your own IDVs (individual daily values) for calories, fat, carbohydrates, protein, vitamins and minerals. You'll see the government's standard recommendations listed as a reference point. (Any values that you don't change will remain set to the government's values.)
4. Click "save preferences" and you're done. From now on, when you analyze your total consumption, you'll see how your daily intake compares to your customized values. (IDV's are only used in the Total Consumption Report. All other portions of this site use standard DV's, in order to report data that's consistent with other sources.)
Next Step: Go to My Preferences

The weight gain from quitting smoking is probably for two reasons: 1) Smoking is an appetite suppressant, so your friend is probably eating more and 2) Smoking is a moderate diuretic, so there goes some extra calorie elimination right there. Just tell him to be more conscious of what he eats and not to try to use food as a substitute. When I quit I put on about 5-10 pounds, it happens...
Monica's Response: A diuretic does not eliminate calories, just water.

t is always the best if one can stop smoking for better health. However, most of the smokers who quit doing so would face the same problem. They gain much weight after they quit smoking. Is this effect applicable to everyone? Not really. It only happens to those heavy smokers who have smoked for more than 10 years. For those light smokers, they hardly gain weight when they quit.
In fact, gaining some weight is a normal outcome. Nothing to be worried as it is the effect of nicotine leaving the body. In average, smokers who stop smoking normally gain about 10 pounds. If they gain excessive weight, they are advised to consult the doctors to avoid from overweight problem.
