In 1986, a collaborative effort among professional associations resulted in the publication of Worksite Nutrition: A Decision Maker's Guide (The American Diabetic Association, 1986). The booklet describes nutrient analysis methodology as a good "promotional gimmick". The development of DINE was an effort to move nutrient analysis from the gimmick level to a viable educational component level. A few examples of the innovative effects of this methodology are (1) individuals' using their own data can learn energy balance by monitoring their food intake and physical activity, (2) individuals can learn the Dietary Goals for the United States (U. S. Senate Select Subcommittee on Nutrition and Human Needs, 1977) and are able graphically to compare how their diet approximates or is different from these goals, and (3) individuals can also learn, from verifications of their own food records, which of their food selections were high in calories, total fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol, and low in complex carbohydrates and dietary fiber. Alternative healthful food choices are identified and the effects of reducing or increasing portion sizes is described. The DINE development team has been working for the past eight years to decrease nutrient analysis variability so that the procedure can be used as an effective independent measure to improve nutritional behavior. Research has been conducted related to database validity and reliability. Formative and process evaluations have been conducted to improve interactive aspects of the software and related manuals and books. DINE procedures have been modified for ease of use, in general, and specifically for elementary students and university students.
