“Free food database and calorie checker”

This application is designed for anyone who is interested in what they eat, but is particularly useful for those following a diet for health or weight loss reasons. The database can be easily searched by typing in the food that you´re looking for - the software will display a list of matching foods as quickly as you type. You can also refine the search by selecting one or more of the 24 food categories.

By selecting a food you can view the proportion of fat, protein and carbohydrate contained, as well as total calories and more detailed nutritional information. It also displays various 'food facts' that will assist people following diets that restrict certain kind of foods, such as low fat, low carbohydrate (Atkins / South Beach) or low sodium diets.

The nutritional information was compiled by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Nutrient Data Laboratory. This highly-detailed information on the nutritional content of foods is also a useful resource for nutritionists and other health care professionals.
