Re: [libreoffice-users] Need help and don't know where to even start.

Hello,

Though this is possible through calc, there are probably other and
even easier options available:

the ideal on a desktop pc would be to write something in base, though
I'm not experienced with that. Perhaps there exist some web based
options as well.
Finally, there are most likely possibilies in the different app
stores, eg : http://appcrawlr.com/android-apps/best-apps-eat-and-live

Good luck with the development / searching for the tool, but most of
all : good luck with loosing weight! Try to do some sports as well :-)

Met vriendelijke groeten, Salutations distinguées, Kind Regards,
