Scanning your way to Skinniness - Barcode/Calorie Tracker

[NotSoLittleMermaid 14]

I hit a stall, so I am keeping track of my daily intake as shown below on Protein, etc.) info to my doctor. The coolest thing is it can scan in the nutrition count of many of the foods with a barcode scanner in the phone or do a search, or restaurant search and has many restaurants/fast food on there. I really would have a hard time keeping a dairy without this fabulous application/bar-code scanner so I highly recommend it if you aren't using one. I am sure there are even more for the IPhone. Another tip, usually Publix off brands will scan but if you just like to scan in the food, most name brands are already in there so you don't have to manually add the nutrional value. When you are shopping, you can scan to see which brands work. But you can add anything custom you want, so it will be there. I just really like the scanning. My phone is a Droid phone through Verizion (most companies offer this Samsung Galaxy phone)

What apps do you like and why?

I hit a stall, so I am keeping track of my daily intake as shown below on www.fatsecret.com which syncs with my Droid app "Calorie Counter" and copy and paste (calories, carbs, Protein, etc.) info to my doctor.

I also use fatsecret.com. You can friend me on there if you like. I like to see what everyone else is eating to get ideas. I also like the weight loss tracker. I have found foods not on the list, but only a few, and it doesn't take long to add them to the database. None of the scan aps work on my phone. It is too old school. My husband has been trying to get me to get a droid.
