I recently downloaded an app to my iPhone called "Fooducate" and I love it. Is anyone else using this and if so, how much does it influence what you buy at the store? It greatly influences my choices. For those that don't know, it's an app that allows you to scan the bar codes of items at the store and gives them a letter grade for nutrition from A-F. It was put together by nutritionists. I was amazed how many items I thought were healthy, actually didn't get a very good grade because of sodium content or some other hidden thing.

    Thanks! I just passed this onto our Wellness Coordinator to use for our upcoming Benebits mailer that we send to employees. Fantastic! It helps make better choices so that our numbers on MFP will go DOWN DOWN DOWN!!
