Your analysis is only as good as your data
The data underneath
Every analysis in Foodworks Professional traces back to Australian and New Zealand food composition data. Curated, mapped to authoritative sources, and reviewed.
AusFoods
Proprietary to Xyris. Comprehensive Australian food composition data covering 80+ nutrients and components. Curated, mapped to authoritative sources, and manually reviewed by dietitians. The foundation of every analysis in Foodworks.
FOODfiles
New Zealand food composition data for practitioners and researchers working across the Tasman.
AusBrands
Proprietary to Xyris. Branded food products from Australian supermarkets, mapped to verified AusFoods composition data to provide the full nutrient profile that product labels alone don't include.
Hospital Foods
Proprietary to Xyris. A comprehensive data source of formulas, oral nutrition supplements and foods for special medical purposes, built with input from hospital dietetic teams across Australia. It covers products for infants, children and adults, intended for use within a clinical dietetic setting.
Built for the way you already work
Analyse dietary intakes
Run detailed analyses across 80+ nutrients. Compare intake against Nutrient Reference Values. Examine food group consumption at both broad and granular levels. Whether it's a 24-hour recall or a multi-day food record, the analysis gives you the full picture.
Track clients over time
Store client details, food records, and biometric data in one place. Set personalised nutrient goals. Monitor progress across appointments. When a client comes back in three months, their history is there.
Develop recipes and meal plans
Build recipes to specific nutritional criteria. Combine them into meal plans. Analyse the full plan across micro and macronutrients. Check against NRVs. Adjust and reanalyse until it's right.
Generate reports
Produce personalised PDF reports your clients can take away. Dietary intake summaries, meal plans, nutrient breakdowns, progress over time. The report does the explaining so you can focus on the conversation.
Work from anywhere
Cloud-based. Access from any browser on Windows, Mac, or Linux. No downloads, no installations. Your data is there when you are, wherever you are.
Collaborate with your team
Share workspaces across your practice or organisation. Manage user access and permissions. Everyone works from the same data without duplicating files or emailing spreadsheets.

What food composition data does Foodworks Professional use?
Foodworks Professional is built on AusFoods (comprehensive Australian food composition data covering 80+ nutrients), AusBrands (branded food products from Australian supermarkets, mapped to verified composition data), FOODfiles (New Zealand food composition data), Hospital Foods (Foods for Special Medical Purposes and infant formulas and more, developed for clinical dietetics). Every data point is curated, mapped to authoritative sources, and reviewed.
How does Foodworks integrate with Easy Diet Diary?
Your clients track their food in Easy Diet Diary on their phone. That data flows directly into your Foodworks Professional analysis. No manual data entry, no paper food diaries, no lengthy recall interviews. Easy Diet Diary is free for patients and available on iOS and Android.
Can I compare intake against Nutrient Reference Values?
Yes. Foodworks analyses intake across 80+ nutrients and compares against Australian and New Zealand Nutrient Reference Values. You can also set personalised nutrient goals for individual clients.
Can multiple practitioners share client data?
Yes. Foodworks is cloud-based with shared workspaces. Your team works from the same data, with permissions and access control at the organisation level. Activity logs track who changed what and when.
What’s the difference between Professional and Nutrition Labelling?
Professional is for nutrition practitioners: dietary intake analysis, client tracking, meal plans, and clinical reports. Nutrition Labelling is for the food industry: generating compliant food labels (NIPs, Health Star Ratings, allergen statements, Country of Origin) from recipe formulations. If you need both, Foodworks Duo combines them in one subscription.
Does Foodworks work on Mac?
Yes. Foodworks is cloud-based and runs in any modern browser on Windows, Mac, or Linux. No downloads or installations required.
Can I generate reports for my clients?
Yes. Foodworks produces personalised PDF reports covering dietary intake summaries, meal plans, nutrient breakdowns, comparisons to client NRVs and progress over time. Reports are designed to support the consultation conversation, not replace it.
Is Foodworks used in university nutrition programs?
Yes. Foodworks is used at hundreds of universities across Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and the rest of the world — including the University of Sydney, University of Melbourne, Monash University, UNSW, the University of Queensland, Deakin University, University of Otago, Singapore Institute of Technology and many others. Many practitioners first learn Foodworks during their degree. Learn more about Foodworks Education
