Free Online Foods Amino-acids-contents-type Calculator
 
Input amino acid content values of foods into form and run online program to determine whether the food is a pre-activity, post-activity, or neutral type food
    
Use default definitions for ideal pre-activity and post-activity amino acid intake levels or input your own definitions of ideal pre-activity and post-activity intake levels
 
Instructions for Use of this program (link to run program  below instructions):
 
NOTE: THIS PROGRAM WORKS IN IE 7.0.5730.13; DOES NOT WORK IN FIREFOX 3.0.11 (AS OF 7/6/2009). You can download one of the best Firefox add-ons which will alow you to use IE in Firefox tabs at:

The idea underlying the program is that general and cardiac health can be improved through wise decisions, based upon an understanding of the amino acid contents of foods, regarding what foods are eaten before and after physical activity (http://davidvirgil.blogspot.com/2009/07/nutritition-and-cardiac-health-tables.html).
 
The general rule is that values inputted into the colored inputs in the program table (see below) will effect the results when the program is run; the white inputs are for displaying results when the program is run, values inputted into them will not effect results when the program is run.
 
Row A is by default loaded with amino acid mg/kg-body-weight intake levels that I now estimate to be ideal relative to 407 mg/kg-body-weight total amino acid intake specifically for the purpose of  consumption prior to physical activity (I now estimate 407 mg/kg-body-weight intake as ideal per 24 hours). Values inputted into the blue colored inputs in row A will effect the results in the white inputs in row B and row C when the program is run. The values in the white colored inputs in  row A, will not effect the results when the program is run but will show valid results after the program is run.
 
Row B is by default loaded with amino acid mg levels per 100 grams of egg white powder as reported by nutritiondata.com at http://www.nutritiondata.com/facts/dairy-and-egg-products/158/2. Using sources such as nutritiondata.com, one can load the amino acid values for foods other than egg white into the green inputs in row B; these values will effect the values in the white inputs in row B and row C when the program is run. Values loaded into the white inputs in row B will not effect the results produced by the program, but will show results when the program is run.
 
Row C is by default loaded with statistical analysis that compares the default food loaded into row B (egg white powder) to the default 'ideal' pre-physical-activity amino acid distribution loaded into row A, and the default 'ideal' post-physical activity amino acid distribution loaded into row E. Row C shows how the amino acid composition of egg white powder compares with the default pre-activity and post-activity ideals loaded into rows A and E.  Inputting values into the white inputs in row C will not effect the results produced by the program; the white inputs in row C will show results after the program is run.
 
In row C, an amino acid's percentage representation in a food (when all the amino acids in the food combined total 100%) is considered to be "neutral" relative to the pre-activity and post-activity ideals, when the amino acid percentage representation in the food falls within a certain range (greater or lesser than) of the average of the pre and post percentage ideals. This range multiplier is 1 plus or minus one tenth of: the average of the differences between the pre-activity ideal and the percentage representation in the amino acid and the difference between the post-activity ideal and the amino acid, divided by the percentage representation in the food in question.
 
Row D is by default loaded with amino acid mg/kg-body-weight intake levels that I now estimate to be ideal relative to 407 mg total amino acid intake, for general purpose consumption (I now estimate 407 mg/kg-body-weight total amino acid intake as ideal per 24 hours) such as that which occurs in between the post-physical-activity meal and the pre-physical activity meal. Values inputted into the yellow colored inputs in row D will effect the results shown in the white colored inputs in row D when the program is run, but will not effect results in rows other than row D when the program is run. The white colored inputs in row D, will not effect the results when the program is run but will show valid results after the program is run.
 
Row E is by default loaded with amino acid mg/kg-body-weight intake levels that I now estimate to be ideal relative to 408 mg/kg-body-weight total amino acid intake, for consumption after physical activity (I now estimate 408 mg/kg-body-weight total amino acid intake as ideal per 24 hours). Values inputted into the blue colored inputs in row E will effect the results in the white inputs in row E and row C when the program is run. The white colored inputs in row E, will not effect the results when the program is run but will show valid results after the program is run.
 
Changing the values set in the colored inputs in rows A and E prior to running the program, will change the statistical analysis results produced in row C when the program is run. This is because judgements regarding to what extent a food is a pre-activity, post-activity, or neutral type food (row C), depend upon one's idea regarding ideal amino acid consumption prior to and after physical activity (rows A and E). .

Program Controls:
 
Clicking on the "1 Run Amino Calculator on Data Window" will run the program on the data set in the data window, using the values in the colored inputs to produce results in the white inputs.
 
Clicking on the "2 Restore default values in Data Window" link will restore the default values to the inputs in the data set in the data window.
 
Clicking on the "3 Load new data set by URL", will load a new page containing a different data set into the data window. The page loaded will be the one with the URL specified in the corresponding input. 
 
Clicking on the "4 Load new data set into Data Window", will like 3 load a new page into the Data Window".
 
Clicking on the "5 Load new values into data set in Data Window", will load new values corresponding to a different food into the page in the Data Window iframe, without changing which page is loaded into the Data Window iframe.
 
Input 6 shows which food's data values are currently loaded into the Data Window.
