So you’re trying to eat a little more healthily and think that the food choices you are making are the right ones, but sometimes you just aren’t sure. Pic Healthy from MedHelp and GE is the latest of the mobile apps that make choosing healthy meals much simpler, in a fun way.

To use the app simply take a picture of the food in question using your mobile’s camera and share it with friends on Facebook or MedHelp’s health social network, who will then rate how healthy or unhealthy the food is. The idea is that this kind of social sharing will encourage better eating habits and the mobile phone app is available as a free download for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. This means that you don’t even have to compare iPod classic as you can download the mobile app to any of these players.

Once users have downloaded the free mobile app to their phone, they can take a picture of their food, give their own rating of how healthy it is, and then upload it the social media sites. Their friends will then give their own rating of how healthy they think the food is and judge whether they think the user is being honest in their rating of the food. In this way the free mobile phone app holds the user more accountable for their food choices.

A points system featured on the mobile app will also encourage users to make healthier food choices. Points are awarded for healthy food choices, honesty in terms of how users rate their food, and participation points for sharing and uploading food photos. They can also check scoreboards to see how well they are doing in terms of points when compared to their friends.

To download the app on your cheap iPod classic, iPad or iPod Touch simply visit the mobile apps store or follow the link www.medhelp.org/land/photo-food-app to download it. Start making healthier food choices today with mobile apps like Pic Healthy.
