"Basically a spreadsheet."
Version: Calorie Balance Diet 4.0.8
Pros
It works when not crashing.
Cons
Crashes on me every time I use it.
Not many food items so many things have to be added.Summary
This is a pretty much a slightly fancier spreadsheet that has been pre-programmed to do the math for you. It works fine (for free!) but on my computer it crashes every time I use it. Not right away but usually within 10 minutes. If it did crash I would probably rate it 3 and 1/2 stars but its bordering on useless for me since it does.

"Spams browser windows and assumes US units"
Version: Calorie Balance Diet 4.0.8
Pros
Nothing I could find...
Cons
Spams browser windows.
Assumes that all units must be in US units instead of the standard SI-system.Summary
It's not worth it.

"Good Potential but NOT READY FOR PRIMETIME"
Version: Calorie Balance Diet 4.0.8
Pros
This program has all the bells and whistles that would be useful in a program with this focus. There is a lot of potential here. Generally remembers data entered before a crash.
Cons
I have never experienced such a buggy program from CNet. Frequently crashes after every entry. Many calculations are simply incorrect (but sometimes correct). So far, haven't been able to determine the pattern for crashes or incorrect calculations
Summary
More than anything else, I am disappointed with the CNet editor review of this s/w. This program is, at best, a first prototype - not a version 4. There is tremendous potential here but a great amount of work needs to be done to fix all the bugs. All but unusable now but I think people should watch for later versions - unfortunately, if they are on v4 now we might need to wait foe v24.

"The Diet Software That Beats The "Norm""
Version: Calorie Balance Diet 4.0.8
Pros
This program is easy to use and amazingly accurate. I had to begin to count my Carbs, calories and other essential numbers but I found with this program the ease and reliability that I can always count on with CNET. Thanks folks! Good Job!!
Cons
I was really bothered by the fact that I cannot flow between days. It seems that if I don't remember to fill out my chart properly (or at all) the program won't let me back up to yesterday to fix my "record."
Summary
With a little work this program would be a real winner and accepted and encouraged for use by most weight loss programs.
This is a really good program for someone who is serious about losing weight. I have some minor disagreements about some of the programs totals --- but it's not significant enough not to use the program. It will also keep track of things that maybe you shouldn't eat. If you are serious about losing weight this is the program to use. You can also make it tell you what vitamins that you are taking and if you are doing too much IT will tell you.

Updated on Nov 6, 2011Excellent program especially for those who, like me, have diabetes and need to count carbs. We need to be so careful not just about our sugar consumption but also about how many carbs we take in our diets because carbs become sugar in our systems. Thank you for this program, it really helps to keep me on target. -

"Hijacks browser."
Version: Calorie Balance Diet 4.0.8
Pros
Never got deep enough in to find any
Cons
When ever the program started up it opened a browser window that went to some random advertiser. Anything that has that much control over my laptop is a potential hard drive crasher.
Summary
Stay away.
