Several decades ago in the age before the Web the Encyclopedia Britannica tried to address the issues around the split between a "generalist" ready-reference encyclopedia and a more specialized encyclopedia giving deeper knowledge of certain topics, by splitting the encyclopedia in two, between Macropedia and Micropedia. They were limited by the realities of paper publishing and could not cover every topic in depth in the macropedia, to correspond or expand on the short view in the micropedia. All Macropaedia articles and about 1300 Micropaedia articles are signed. Wikipedia does this, in several topics, with several different degrees of achievement.īecause the number of Web-savvy airplane fans out there greatly outnumber the number of Web-savvy antique fans out there you are much more likely to find a good (albeit incomplete since there is no mention that it was the first allied aircraft to bomb Berlin in WW II) article on the Farman F.222 than on the Escritoire. The 2-volume index contains 215,679 entries and over 666,000 references. Sporting a simple interface and a complex list of food is helping this app to the reach top list of an interested user.The Propaedia volume serves as a guide to the Britannica, arranged by topic, enabling the reader to carry out a plan of reading in any field of knowledge. To sum it up, if you want to ease your dieting process by automating it, Macropedia is a good choice. Selecting one will make slight changes in some of the nutrients values, in order to adapt to that specific program. If you take a quick look at the "Sort" tab, you will notice that there are five types of popular diet types. For a more accurate calculation, adding the exact food type will prove more efficient in following a diet. In other words, regarding lettuce, there are "lettuce, green leaf, raw" or " lettuce, iceberg, raw" etc. Also, every food type has some variations as the nutrient values are different. Macropedia's library contains over twenty food categories or groups, from where you can choose to display one, several or all of them in the preview window. Also, the totals are shown under the selection tab there you can observe the amount(in grams) and nutrients percentage.

After you have added the food, you can see that other values are displayed values like "sugar," "fiber," "monosaturated," "polysaturated" etc.

To the right of the preview tab, the calculator can be noticed here you can add the foods and set the weight for accurate processing. For example, if you want to list the carbs from higher concentration to lower just click the "Carb" button. If you are looking for a specific ingredient, type in the name in the search field and all results containing the input will be listed down.įurthermore, you can arrange the result by clicking the nutrients. Every food type has three values displayed: protein, carbs and fat. The ingredients are alphabetically listed in the preview tab along with the nutrients values. If you are looking forward to starting the Ketogenic diet or just calculate your daily nutrients intake accurately, Macropedia is a good application, to begin with.
