![]() ![]() ![]() FoodScanner lets you search for non-packaged foods. So you can look up just about anything you can't scan. Of course, restaurant foods and other non-packaged items (like most fruits and veggies) have no bar codes-but FoodScanner also features a search option that ties to developer DailyBurn's database of more than 200,000 foods. Once you've looked up your food, you can review its nutrition label or tap "I Ate This!" to record it in your daily database, which keeps a running tally of your caloric intake. I found the scan process remarkably fast and accurate, especially compared with the somewhat unforgiving scanner in the pic2shop app I mentioned yesterday. In a matter of seconds, the app scans the bar code and presents the matching food (complete with a thumbnail picture). To use FoodScanner, just tap the little lightning bolt, then point your iPhone's camera at a UPC bar code until it's centered within the arrow guides. ![]() Will it earn a spot in one of Apple's "There's an app for that" commercials? Almost certainly. Enter FoodScanner, a new app that scans package bar codes for quick and easy calorie logging.ĭoes it work? It does. Of course, it's a hassle to have to manually enter the foods I eat. When my eating starts getting out of control, I usually fire up the Lose It app to keep tabs on my calories for a few days. FoodScanner for iPhone is a calorie counter's dream come true.
