COSTA MESA, CA - - CalorieKing, one of the world’s top publishers of nutrition and exercise information, now makes it easier than ever for dieters to create cookbooks of their personal favorite healthy dishes, with calorie counts automatically generated for each dish.

Many people attempt to organize their favorite recipes in note-card boxes or on slips of paper in a drawer, and never have an easy way to include information on the dish’s calorie count. CalorieKing RecipeBook not only offers an easy-to-use recipe editor that enables users to rapidly enter recipes into a digital cookbook, but draws from CalorieKing’s vast food database to automatically calculate the total calories for the meal. It also comes with a large collection of recipes compiled by the nutritional experts at CalorieKing.

Once recipes are entered into the software, they can be categorized into “recipe books” that work similarly to playlists for songs in a MP3 music player. Also, rather than flipping through pages in an oversized cookbook or wading through stacks of recipe note-cards, RecipeBook includes a powerful search feature that allows users to quickly find and view recipes.

Recipes can also be printed and organized in a three-ring binder according to food categories, such as desserts, breakfasts, and casseroles.

The company has also updated its CalorieKing Nutrition & Exercise Manager so that users of this comprehensive database and diary tool for healthy living can easily access recipies from RecipeBook. At the core of the Nutrition & Exercise Manager is the huge CalorieKing.com proprietary food database. With over 50,000 foods, this food database represents the world's best nutritional information source.

RecipeBook is available for Windows XP and Mac OS X 10.4 desktops and retails for $20.00. Detailed information on the program can be found at www.calorieking.com/software.
