[iPhone] Track Calories Quickly With FoodScanner

With DailyBurn’s FoodScanner app for iPhone, you can track calories by scanning bar codes of over 200,000 foods. It simply cannot get any easier to log your food. Quick scanning, easy adding of new foods to the library (with pictures), and good ol’ text search for those natural foods that haven’t been tagged with UPCs.

In order to use the app, you need to start the app on your iPhone, point the camera at the UPC code of the food item and the app automatically recognizes the food and records the nutritional information of your food with your DailyBurn account. DailyBurn is the new name for the fitness website Gyminee reviewed earlier in my post titled [Health] Get Fit with Gyminee

Features available with the FoodScanner app for the iPhone

1.) Find foods by scanning UPC barcodes OR typing in food names.
2.) View complete nutrition labels.
3.) Create new foods and attach photos & UPC codes.
4.) Keep track of total calories eaten every day.
5.) Optionally sync with a DailyBurn account for adv. nutrition analysis, history, and more.

FoodScanner app for the iPhone is available from the iTunes store for $2.99.

  1. This program really stinks compared to Lose it. I have scanned 10 Smart Ones and/or Weight Watchers and only 1 was found. The rest I had to search for myself. There is no area to calculate weight loss goals or anything. It’s just a place to scan your food (IF the scanning works) and see how many calories you have eaten. Save yourself the money and just get Lose It for free. You will be much happier. I wish I could get my money back.
