Just lately I have become obsessed with healthy eating and barcode labels. Now I know thats a strange two things to put in to a sentance but I have some findings which actually link the two together. Recently I got myself an iphone and a good friend of mine (from slimming club!) suggested an app that is available for my iphone which gives each item of food a ranking. I thought she was crazy, but still decided to download it. To my suprise I found it to be a great little app that I use regularly. Here is a bit of info about thae app and its creator: Shop Healthy is the most comprehensive healthy grocery guide available. For the first time you can make healthy food choices while you shop for groceries. This app provides expert nutritional advice from Dr. Melina Jampolis, a medical doctor board certified in nutrition. Now you can have a nutritional doctor grocery guide in your pocket or handbag. Dr. Melina Jampolis worked with a team of dietitians to rank and/or review over 100,000 branded grocery store products. Each product is ranked within each product category based on nutritional and optimal dietary considerations. The ranking takes into consideration varying nutritional aspects of individual products including sodium, saturated fat, total fat, sugar and fiber and compares that product to other products within the same food category to help you make the best choices.
I really hope this can help others out there, it has really made a difference to my life (and my waist line!)
