Here is a brief description about this app.

    First, I am a new Fooducate user; it looks good. However, without an XML transport of some sort to shove food between MFP and fooducate, it's a hard sell.

    As it is, I am forked between four different platforms (MFP, Fitbit, Ziplist/Pepperplate, Tactio Health) to enter and track food.

    That said, Fooducate offers something a bit different, but it's frustrating to go to eat something and know that I'll have to enter it numerous times. I guess I'll lose weight this way: by just not eating anything, as it's too painful to sync between/across apps. ;)

    I love this app because it tells you the pros and cons of a product/food. For those without a smartphone/iphone, they have a website. Just google fooducate! I use it all the time
