Food and Nutrition Apps for Smart Phones and Tablets
Now that 'smart phones' are becoming more and more popular, many people are taking to looking up diet, exercise and nutrition information on their phones (or Ipads and the like). Here is a list of apps you can download to help keep you accountable over the holidays. These phone apps are a great way to log your food vs a handwritten journal. My favorite is Lose It! The new edition also lets you scan the barcode so the nutrition information automatically loads into your daily log of food. How convenient! Another great category of apps are recipe finders. These help you find quick easy and healthy recipes right from your phone. Other categories to search: running/walking mileage apps, pedometers, water intake app, and coupons. More blogs posts to come on recommended apps for these other health categories.
