6 Health, Nutrition and Fitness Apps for your Smartphone

We love tech, Internet and apps, but we also love our body, so why not combine those loves to stay healthy using a smartphone app? Today, there are a lot of apps that help you lose weight, by telling you how much and what to eat according to your weight loss goals, how to train more effectively, compare foods, count calories and much more. Here are 6 of the best fitness, diet and nutrition apps we found.

Thin-Cam

Thin-Cam approaches one of the biggest obstacles to healthy weight management—and that’s kidding ourselves about how much food we’re actually eating. This cool app allows you to snap a picture of your meal, before you eat it, upload it to the  Thin-site, which is a paid membership website, and get your meal analyzed by nutritionists. The Thin-site also provides a vast library of the latest health, nutrition, and scientific weight-loss news, as well as quick and fun fitness videos.

Fooducate

Fooducate is a great app that allows you to scan bar-codes of different grocery items in the supermarket and get a full nutritional analysis, as well as a letter grade for the food’s overall quality. The best thing about this app is that it gives you information not only about calories but also about added sugar, fat and food additives in the product. In the Fooducate site you can find healthy tips and blog posts about healthy living. In addition, Fooducate also has special apps that will help people with diabetes, allergies or celiac to choose the best food for them.

The Fitbit app allows you to track food, activity, weight, water, sleep and see the big picture of how your daily choices affect your health. The Fitbit app can be used with one of the Fitbit activity tracking devices or the Aria Body Comp Scale, but can also be used all on its own. This app can really learn your eating, exercising and sleeping habits so it can personalize eating and exercising plans to a changing body.
