Finally.. I've made it through the nutrition database for TrueWeight and normalized all the data. There's still some work to do on assigning the foods to categories. I'm trying to decide between putting them in one-to-one heirarchical categories or using a one-to-many approach. I'm leaning towards the latter. Though it will make the back end a little messier, it will make the foods easier for the users to find and after all.. the main goal of this projects is to create something that is easy to use.
Next step will be creating the actual interface parts to select and add foods to the daily menu.
