Best apps...for healthy eating
These free apps will locate restaurants, help you choose nutritious alternatives at the supermarket, and find farmers markets.

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)
