Taking care of our diet is basic to improve our health. Going through the scale is not a dish of good taste (pun intended), so we should have a healthy diet. For this, it is very important that we know what we are eating at each meal, something that is not as simple as it might seem. To do this, we have some applications that we can use to scan food and thus know what we are cooking or taking home. We bring you some of them.
These applications are quite simple to use, and with them we can scan the products that we are going to buy both in the supermarket and even when we have already cooked and served them on a plate.
Yuka
Yuka is one of the best applications that we can use to be able to scan products, both food and even cosmetics . It is a very simple app to use, since all we have to do is use the camera of our mobile device to scan the barcodes of the products.
Once we do this, the app will display the result of its observation on the screen with a color code , depending on how healthy or not the product in question is. The app has a million and a half scanned food products, so it will be difficult to find one that the app does not recognize.
MyRealFood
This well-known application will also serve us in the same way as the previous one. On this occasion, MyRealFood uses a scale that goes from 0 to 100, and the higher the score a certain food has, the healthier it will be.
Not only can we find a scanner of food products in this application, but it also has more than 150,000 recipes available . The app will allow us to search for recipes by name or by ingredients, and we will even be able to share recipes with other users so that they can save and evaluate them.
The coconut
This app has the peculiarity that it will also tell us if the food we scan has a greater or lesser impact on climate change . With it we can consult all the nutritional information of food products, as well as their energy value.
Each product that we scan will have its own tab where we can read the most positive or negative aspects of it in our diet. If we want, we can also create a history of scanned products so that we can access them quickly. The app is collaborative , in such a way that if a product does not appear in the app you can create it yourself.
Calorie Breast AI
This app is only available in English, but it works very well if what we want is to scan food that we already have cooked. The app will suggest the food or foods when we take a photo , and if we confirm it, it will instantly tell us how many calories the dish has.
The app has a premium version that includes more features , but the free version will be more than enough to enjoy food scanning. The app is quite precise when it comes to matching foods, so we won’t have any problem using it.
Foodvisor
Foodvisor is a complete application that we can use to scan our food. With it we will have the possibility of taking a photo of our plate to obtain nutritional information from it such as the calories it has or the macro and micronutrients .
This app is, as we say, very complete, since in addition to scanning products and food it will also allow us to keep a complete record of our weight , the daily intake of water that we are drinking or even the number of steps we take during the day .
