Calorie Counter

A friend of mine just started Weight Watches and after my last post, she suggested that I join.  Not a bad idea.  She also said there was a WW iPhone app, which made me think there was probably some sort of an app for my Nexus One.

I was scrolling through the free apps this afternoon and found a calorie counter app.  It was highly rated and free so I swiftly downloaded it.  This has to be the most useful app (aside from my flashlight app) I have found!  There is nutrition information for many restaurants I go to, such as Jimmy John’s and Panera.  You can search for just about anything and can keep a diary, which tracks your calories, fat and sugar consumption.  The best feature is the bar code scanner.  I scanned my Trader Joe’s meatless corn dogs at dinner and they came up complete with nutrition information!

So far today, I have consumed about 1,200.  GO ME!  Though, it is about to go up to 1,500.  Why?  I am currently consuming my Friday  night martini.  Yes, almost 300 calories for my Friday night treat.  I was SHOCKED.  I though vodka was very light in calories. Nope – 64 calories per fl oz.  Good to know.  I wonder what other surprising things I will learn from this new fabulous app!
