Ten Ways Technology Can Help You Lose Weight (and Keep It Off) 4

Take a picture of your food, then send it to myFoodPhone for instant nutritional and diet feedback...


Whether you're dieting, trying to maintain weight, or just looking for advice on eating better, you can get it all using your camera phone with the myFoodPhone service. Rather than keep a log of all your meals like you do with other diet services, you take pictures of what you eat and send them to the service so others can evaluate the portions and ingredients of your meals. For the standard $9.95 a month plan, you'll get personal counseling from the staff dietician on your nutrition. MycaNutrition is the same service, only it's licensed to an independent dietician and you can arrange for different options ranging from the standard price up to hundreds of dollars. You can also find buddies on the site's community area, which allows you to give and receive advice to others out there. Either way, it keeps you more honest and gets you better insight than a standard diet log.
