Food Finder Instructions

To search, enter the criteria you want to look for and press the button. For example, to find items at all restaurants that have less than ten grams of fat, enter 10 in the Maximum Fat field while leaving all other fields empty, then press the button. To find fish sandwiches, type fish in the item field, then press the button. To find all items that have less than 15 grams of fat and are called burgers, type burger in the item field and enter 15 in the Maximum Fat field. To display everything in the food finder, don't enter anything in any field and press the button.

The result screen may be printed for use later. Create a menu based on your own nutritional profile, put it in the glove-box of your car, and you can make intelligent decisions about where to eat when driving around.
