New Kindle App - Fast Food Calories - Calorie Counter

Fast Food Calories - Calorie Counter ($1.99) is a new Kindle app from Nanobit. Sure, you could look this info up at home (few restaurants have the info available once you are there), but with this app on your Kindle, you can quickly compare calories for different items or different restaurants, anywhere you happen to be and without looking for a WiFi hotspot. I haven't played with the options to make favorites or create a meal, but a quick glance confirms that the Five Guys Bacon Cheeseburger (920 calories) and large fries (1464 calories!) is a much worse choice than Outback Steakhouse's 6 oz Sirloin Steak (331 calories) and loaded backed potato (505 calories).

Book Description
Fast Food Calories is an easy-to-use fast food nutrition reference for Kindle.

Fast Food Calories puts nutritional information from 107 fast food restaurants at your fingertips. You can look up menu items from these restaurants, and once you've found a food item, you can view its nutritional information. Information includes calories, fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrates, fiber, sugars, and protein values. You can also add food items to a food log, and record serving size and date.

Restaurants include: Jack In The Box, Applebee's, Burger King, Chick-fil-A, Dunkin Donut's, KFC, Little Caesar's, McDonald's, New York Fries, Pizza Hut, Quiznos, Subway, Taco Bell, Wendy's, White Castle, 7-Eleven, Amato's, Arby's, Au Bon Pain, Auntie Anne's, Buck's, Baja Fresh, Big Apple Bagels, as well as 84 others.
