Are you wandering the grocery store confused by all of the options in front of you and wondering, “What choice is the right choice?”
Fear not! There’s an app for that!
Make better, healthier food choices with the Fooducate app.
Fooducate is your tool for making healthy choices while shopping. The app enables your smartphone to scan the barcode on items at the grocery store.
Each product is automaticallygraded(A-, B+, C, etc…) by a scientific algorithm based on its nutrition facts and ingredient list. Fooducate recommends minimally processed, real foods, that are naturally rich in nutrients and antioxidants.
The app is especially useful for those with diabetes and food allergies.
Knowing what’s in you food helps you to make more empowered choices at the market, which will help you reach your weight loss goals, help you eat more REAL food, and help you choose more nutritious food.
