I have been trying lately to cook more food at home {and healthier food, for that matter!}. I found 2 really great iPhone Apps that I have loved using {and they are FREE}!!
The first one is called ShopWell. It allows you to enter your nutritional goals and what you are trying to do, diet-wise {low calorie, low carb, high protien, etc}. It also allows you to input foods you shouldn't have {i.e. food allergies or gluten products}. Then it has an option that allows you to scan foods at the grocery store {such as a loaf of bread} and it will tell you which brand is the best for your nutritional needs. It is so hard to stand in the store and compare labels...this one has lower calories but that one has less fat grams...which one should you pick? This App makes the recommendation for you! LOVE it!
The second one is called Grocery IQ. This App allows you to choose stores that you frequent {Kroger, CVS, HEB, etc.} and make your grocery list. It will alert you if there is a coupon for the product you entered and you can send it straight to your computer to print out. After you create your grocery list, you can also send that to your computer to print or you can check the items off the list directly on your phone. I love this option because I never seem to be able to push a cart with crazy kiddos, hold a list and then cross items off of it without Big Brother wanting to take my pen and paper to color.
Anyway, just thought it was worth mentioning! Gotta love those FREE Apps!!!
This is very interesting and I greatly appreciate you sharing this piece of information! Very useful and I can't wait to download it!
