Fast Food Calorie Checker app review

Introduction

When you're cooking your meals at home it's easy to be aware of what's in each dish, but that's not the case with fast food. The Fast Food Calorie Checker app can be used on your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone to quickly and easily find the calorie count on all kinds of dishes. The app supports menus from some of the largest chains out there so you're getting a really wide range of information. And perhaps best of all is the fact the app doesn’t even require an Internet connection in order to use it.

Smooth and Simple Calorie Tool

The Fast Food Calorie Checker app features more than 15,000 different items that can be found in more than 100 different restaurant chains. These chains include such one as A&W, Burger King, In-N-Out Burger, Pizza Hut, Steak 'n Shake, Subway, and plenty more. With this app you'll be able to view all kinds of information such as the calorie count, sodium, saturated fat, cholesterol, trans fat, carbohydrates, protein, dietary fiber, and sugars. Thanks to this app there is no need to stray from healthy eating or a special dietary plan.

This app hasn't been updated in almost two years now with its' last update offering iCloud compatibility and iOS compatibility. At this point these updates seem outdated. It scores four out of five stars from users and I actually find this a bit surprising because in general it's in need of an overall.

The User Experience

If you're looking for something in particular the Fast Food Calorie Checker app can help you out. You can search by the food category, search by an exact food, and all the restaurants are in alphabetical order. There is a quick display setting that lets you select up to two different nutrients beside the food name. What's convenient is that you will then see those two totals beside the name of the food/dish without even having to click on the item. It just makes the search experience much faster if you are trying to watch a certain total. The app also provides the upper limits recommended for sodium, cholesterol, trans fat, saturated fat, and total fat so you know close or over a certain item will take you.
