Mastercook
Hi Jaden,
i use Mastercook and am in the process of corralling all of my recipes. i was in the habit of just printing one out when i found a recipe that interested me, so i, too had them scattered all over. Kept having to go back to the websites where i THOUGHT i found it and search all over again when i lost one that i liked.
It will be a long process to get them all into Mastercook, but it really is a neat program. Yes, it calculates nutritional values. Like Fitday, you can enter new items and their nutritional values. You can create a new cookbook to hold your Low Carb recipes. You can even create a new category (Entree, Eggs, Fruit, Breakfast, Dairy, etc.) i created a "Low Carb" category and went into the cookbooks that come with the software and am marking some of those recipes as "Low Carb" so i can search for those more easily. You can import recipes directly from a website or an email into Mastercook, which saves time. It IS a somewhat cumbersome program to use, but you can print a comprehensive and easy to understand manual. Now it costs (i think) about $25-$30 but i got my copy (new and still sealed) from eBay for $6.00 plus S/H.
i'm not an expert yet but i like it so far.
