My personal favorite part about Calorie Counter is the easy to find ingredient info screen. The main screen features several categories users can use to find ingredients and even full meal information. Those areas include: Foods, Restaurants and Chains, Popular Brands and Supermarket Brands. If you're in the store this means you can easily compare a brand name versus a store brand if they are not located right next to each other, while finding nutritional values for fast food chains which is not the easiest task when at those locations is now only a few clicks away.
Basically if you need to find different types of foods for different situations then Calorie Counter is a great option.
Here's a look at the Calorie Counter Food Finder Menu:
Aside from searching an entire database to find the foods your searching for Calorie Counter also allows users to scan foods directly from their devices camera, using the camera as a barcode scanner. On the one hand you may be thinking "I can just check the back of the box." however if your planning meals based on calorie counts it makes more sense to save those recipes in your calorie diary found on the device, thus allowing you to plan your calorie consumption ahead of time.
Take a look at this screenshot, as you can see the nutritional value sheet is shown with the option to save it to your diary, making it easy to log your calorie counts if you're eating a certain type of food.
Finally once you find the ingredients or meal you want to eat you can simple choose how many servings you'll be eating. The serving sizes are a great addition as they don't rely as some other programs do on simplistic terms such as weight sizes, but rather they focus on the actual distribution sizes of the foods. For instance, if you have a box with 12 packets in the box the screen will tell you the serving size if its 1 packet or half a packet, this makes it easier to understand the exact serving size required to hit a certain calorie count more easily.
Calorie Counter For Google Android is a very competent mobile application that allows users to easily track their calorie counts and other nutritional values on the fly. Overall I found the Mobile App to be very comprehensive and easy to use, while the on board diary made it very easy to track my own meals over a 3 day period. I tend to be using 10-15 mobile apps across various platforms on a 1-2 day period so I have very little time to mess around figuring out the basic, with calorie counter there are no basics you can literally jump right in. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.
