calorie codes
a code (bar, QR or otherwise) that retains calorie information. | |
As I said in the summary, the idea is for a code (bar, QR or
otherwise) that retains calorie information. The idea being
that a person could scan the code on the sides of ones
coffee, can of soup, hamburger receipt, and the information
would added to ones daily total. The idea is that it would
be
a fuss free way of calorie counting.
While there are already hundreds of programs that aid in
counting calories, they all require you to look up the dietary
information for every item you eat, which is time
consuming, and tedious.

The kind of app I mean. [jutta, Nov 21 2011]

Surely there must be programs who already look up
the bar code of a packaged item for you in a
database of calorie information. |
|

Showing results for: "celery".
{Search instead for: "KFC".} |

The latest update to the one I use apparently scans
barcodes. Haven't tried it yet. |
|
| |
Now I have. It does depend on having an accurate barcode/calorie databse. It mis-identified one item (correct food, wrong package size). |
|
| |
Having the actual nutritional information in a machine readable format wouldn't be a horrible idea. |
|
| |
It won't work for the many, many situations where
you're not buying something and eating the whole
package that day... |
|
| |
But this would only work, shirley, for snack-foods,
burgers and the like? What happens when you have
a meal at home? |
