track and you are always on the go, try an app for eating healthy to keep your

For those of us not versed in the “language” or nutrition labels, Fooducate allows you scan the barcode of a product or type in its name to find out the total calories, fat, sodium and other ingredients in that product. If you like a ratings system, it can also score the food for healthiness.

It's free, and it helps you eat free- form GMOs and other foods that have chemicals you may want to avoid. This app lists “green” foods and “red” foods, with green meaning “go” and red meaning “stop,” of course! It will also help you locate stores that refuse to carry anything with GMOs.

Super foods boost your immune system, strengthen memory, ward off disease and give you more energy, so why not intake more of them easily with Superfoods- an app that acts as a guidebook to healthful eating, which can make your shopping trips easier and better. This app also offers articles with in-depth information about foods and supplements, and has a “deals” tab that links you to shopping specials.
Do you use an app to help you eat healthier or lose weight? I would love to hear what it is!

I can't remember what it's called (and that's obviously not a good sign) but I have one that tracks calories and whatnot.
ReplyDeleteI don't use an app, I have a pretty good pace tracker (I can't remember the right term lol.)
ReplyDeleteI use My Weight HD for the iOS, and I've used My Fitness Pal too. I've downloaded a lot of apps to help weight/health management, but some of them just aren't very good.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of these but I will have to check them out! Great list.
ReplyDeleteI am going to have to download TrueFood.
ReplyDeleteThese sound like great apps. I've actually never used an app to help me get healthier but it can't hurt to try!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely going to check out the Fooducate. :)
ReplyDeleteThere are so many wonderful apps on the market. This list is totally awesome. I'm going to have to check them out on my iPhone. Thanks for telling us about them.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of these but I'll definitely check them out soon. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteFooducate sounds like a great one. We always read the labels but whether or not we understand all the ingredients is a whole other story.
ReplyDeleteI use Calorie Counter and Diet Tracker by MyFitnessPal. Great app!
ReplyDeleteI use the MyFItnessPal one to scan in my food but I love the idea of the Fooducate and how it rates it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the app recommendations. I could always use apps that will help me get healthy.
ReplyDeleteI am downloading True Food the moment after I hit publish on this comment. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteI use MyFitnessPal and love it. I'll have to check out the other three apps.
ReplyDeleteLove MyFitnessPal...now to only use it more!
