Best apps...for healthy eating

GoodFoodNearYou is perfect for healthy eaters on the go. This free app uses GPS to identify your location, then sorts through menus at nearby restaurants to provide the best meal choices based on lowest carbs, lowest calories, or lowest fats. (Android, iOS, and BlackBerry)

Fooducate helps you find nutritious alternatives to less-than-healthy foods. Simply scan the barcode of a food product the next time you’re at the supermarket, and this app will tell you what’s “really inside.” It follows up with a list of healthier alternatives. (Free; Android and iOS)
