Kathleen's Diet Planner is a powerful nutrition analysis tool. If you are interested in losing, maintaining or even gaining weight, this is an excellent resource that can help you every step of the way. However, despite its detailed nutrition recording features and meal and recipe database, Kathleen's Diet Planner lacks the interface and overall program operability to make use of its strengths.
This nutrition software has one of the most extensive feature list of any diet program on the market, offering everything from glycemic load information to an extensive food value database. The health monitoring capabilities and personal database allow unlimited users, so the whole family can participate.
Designed for personal and professional use, Kathleen’s Diet brings the expertise of a dietician into your home.

Kathleen's Diet Planner is easy to navigate despite its extensive feature list. There is a lot of information on each screen. Color coding and simple icons are used effectively to manage the information and make each step clear as you enter data and generate reports. However, despite some intuitive organization features, the interface through which these tools and features are accessed could use some serious work.
The help and documentation offered by Kathleen's Diet Planner is fairly comprehensive. Each screen's help section delivers a snapshot of the screen and provides details so that you can find your way. There are printable PDF manuals available to help with questions too, or you can contact the manufacturer by email.
Kathleen's Diet Planner is certainly one of the most comprehensive nutrition analysis program on the market, yet lacks the polishes in terms of interface design and program operation that would make its impressive database standout above top-rated programs Dietmaster 2100, Nutrinote and DietPower. Perhaps by placing greater focus on interface design and program operation Kathleen's Diet Planner could move up in the TopTenREVIEWS rankings. But, for now, better products like Dietmaster 2100 are available.
