Choosing the best cereal from a whole section of possibilities is very difficult. Luckily, Hemi Weingarten came up with an app that scans the bar codes of food products to provide a detailed analysis and healthier alternatives.

Fooducate: The Layout

The Fooducate app has several features that enable the consumer to make better choices regarding the food they buy. After scanning a food product, the app will inform the user of the food’s ingredients and give a grade that ranges from F to A+.

When showing the nutrition label, Fooducate also highlights the ingredients that are harmful to the body and gives an explanation for why they are unhealthy. The app also points out the positive aspects of the product to give a well rounded evaluation of the food, which is embodied by the letter grade.

When the letter grade is not satisfactory, the app will even provide consumers with healthier alternatives, which saves the user from scanning countless of food items to find a better replacement.

Fooducate is accompanied with other tools, such as a website, to help the consumer look up food products, recipes, and nutrition tips. The website and app also post comments and advice from other owners. If the desired food product is not registered in the app or online, a representative of Fooducate will help research the product and add the information to the app.

In addition to providing a thorough analysis on the food item, the app helps monitor the owner’s weight and keeps track of fitness goals. Fooducate can register the amount of calories consumed and compare it to the amount of calories burned through exercise. The app also provides the user with daily tips and news that boost the owner’s awareness regarding the effects of certain food products, recipes, or habits.

Overall, Fooducate can make weight loss much easier and help you in your journey to health.
