Review: Nutracheck

I've been looking for an app on my iphone that tells you the serving size and calories of a specific brand of food. There are a ton of them out there but non of them cater to the UK until I stumbled on this gem called Nutracheck. 

Nutracheck features include:

• A food diary with an extensive UK food database including restaurants + takeways
• Exercise diary with calorie burn figures for over 300 exercises
• Bar code scanning for quick calorie counting - instantly search over
  100,000 UK foods* (see image)
• Members' forum access
• Weekly weigh -in facility with graphs
• Week view to monitor progress
• Option to track weight and waist measurements.

 I especially love the forums where there are countless people sharing their wins and defeats, tips and encouragement etc.-- it's like a weight loss family. 

The app has given me a calorie allowance of 1653 per day so that I reach my target of 2lb loss per week.

The app is free and I would definitely recommend it to anyone even those in the US who would have access to the forums and food + workout diary. It has been immensely helpful especially in moment when I want to eat something but am unsure about the calorie content and serving size.
