NSObjects has updated its nutrition tracking and analysis utility for Mac OS X, Calories. Version 1.2 adds a few UI enhancements, as well as some new user requested features. Among the new additions is CSV Export, and the ability to set goals for all nutrients in the preferences window.

Using Calories is as simple as dragging and dropping the dishes you've had during the day (for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and the eventual snacks) on their predetermined category tabs. The application is then able to tell you the amount of calories you've taken in on that particular day. You can track your weekly, monthly and even yearly progress from the same window, managing as many as 6,900 foods. A full list of new additions and tweaks for Calories 1.2 is available below:

A demo version of Calories is available. The demo is limited to just 100 foods, but you can keep the free software for as long as you want (since it is limited to 100 dishes, not uses). Calories incorporates the USDA Food Database for Dietary Study 3.0, and can keep track of your dietary habits based on 44 different nutrients. The application is a Universal Binary but requires Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard) to run. You may download and try the software using the link below.
