Brief organisational information in German.

Universität Hohenheim

The university has several elements devoted to nutrition and food science.

The Institut für Biologische Chemie und Ernährungswissenschaft web site has information on academics, organisation, research projects, links and publications. It also has one of the best sets of calculators available on the Internet (albeit entirely in German) :

Food frequency calculator:provides nutient analysis, based on checking the number of serves of a range of foods, which you can do either daily, weekly or monthly and by meal. Results are also compared with RDI from simple input of age, gender, activity level.
Energy requirement calculator: with more finely detailed activity inputs than usual for such on-line calculators.
Nutrient analysis calculator: based on dietary record.
Diet prescription calculator: based on input of desired intake of specified nutrients.
