Both Steve and I are fans of DailyBurn and today they released a new iPhone application called FoodScanner. FoodScanner uses the iPhone built-in camera to take pictures of the barcode on food that you eat to help you keep track of what you are eating.
Below is a slide show of some screenshots that I did today while eating lunch. Once I got back to the office I started scanning my co-workers food too. I finally did find one item that did not come up based on the barcode but was in their database after searching for it.
After you input all the food items you have eaten (water bottles work too!) you can load see how many calories and other food facts from their website or the DailyBurn iPhone app.
DailyBurn’s FoodScanner is by far the best app I’ve used to date to collect the data that I need to calculate my daily intake. FoodScanner is like a magic wand for calorie counters, no extra effort is required.
Daily Burn – FoodScanner – $2.99 in the iPhone App Store

My buddy Jacob has a health and fitness website called This Is Not a Diet where he is documenting the journey of some of his friends and family losing weight and living healthy. Their tagline is: “It’s a year long mission to break the habits that make us unhealthy and overweight”. Currently they have thirteen people involved in this project, they document their struggles and achievements in the form of words, video, audio and pictures. I plan to get him on the show to discuss what they are doing over there and how everyone is progressing.
