“EnergySmart uses New Leaf’s patented metabolic
measurement technology to accurately determine one’s daily caloric

then automatically create personalized menus, grocery lists, and nutritional
plans designed to help the client achieve their specific health and
fitness, weight management or athletic performance goal,” according
to Terry Kapsen, Vice President, New Leaf Marketing and Business Development. “EnergySmart
offers a wide variety of meal plans to meet the special needs of clients
such as low-fat, low-carb, vegetarian, wheat-free, glycemic or heart-healthy
diets. In addition, the program’s flexibility provides
easy selection from a database of thousands of food exchanges to accommodate
personal food preferences. EnergySmart includes daily
nutrition and exercise logs to track calories consumed and calories
burned with graphical reports to provide a printable record of your
progress,” commented Kapsen.
The menu plans in EnergySmart are designed by
Registered Dieticians to provide caloric levels and nutritional requirements
and comply with guidelines of the American Dietetic Association and
the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Because EnergySmart
is web-based, it can be used anywhere, anytime, with the simplicity
of a mouse-click on any internet computer.

assessment of your individual metabolism along with programs to help
