SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR CALCULATING, DISPLAYING, MODIFYING, AND USING SINGLE DIETARY INTAKE SCORE REFLECTIVE OF OPTIMAL QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF CONSUMABLES
Embodiments of the disclosed system calculate a single score ("SDIS") for dietary intake over a period of time. In one embodiment, the single score is an indication of whether a subset of measurable nutrients (determined to be indicative of nutritional health) and energy consumed are within a healthy range that is specific to a user. Embodiments of the disclosed system determine whether each nutrient consumed falls within a healthy range. This range may be calculated by, for example, using a plurality of possible minimum intake values and an upper limit (if one exists) for each nutrient. Similarly, the system determines whether the energy consumed falls within a healthy range. The averaged nutrient score is then multiplied by an energy score to arrive at the final score. In an embodiment, the system particularly emphasizes the impact of the energy score treated as a multiplier rather than as a nutrient.

POWDERED THICKENER MAINTAINING ITS EXTENSIONAL PROPERTIES WHEN RECONSTITUTED AND FOR PROMOTING SAFE SWALLOWING BY INDIVIDUALS WITH DYSPHAGIA
A thickening powder promotes safe swallowing of a composition by an individual with dysphagia and can be used in methods of treating dysphagia, promoting safe swallowing of a composition, and mitigating a risk of aspiration during swallowing of a composition. The powder contains beta-glucan and a carrier ingredient that is a carbohydrate that is neutral toward or enhances the extensional properties of the composition. The carrier ingredient is preferably at least one of isomaltulose or a low molecular weight carbohydrate such as sucrose or lactose. The powder can be diluted in a liquid comprising at least one of water or milk to form at least a portion of a composition such as a nutritional product and to improve the cohesiveness of the composition.
