If you have an iPod Touch or iPhone, I hope you're taking advantage of all the great health and fitness apps available. I just downloaded a new healthy app from Women's Health — the Slim Down Shopping List. It is cool, easy to use, and best of all it's free!

For more details and to see some pics of this application action keep reading.
This app helps you choose healthier foods when grocery shopping. It's packed with nutritional info for over 240 of the healthiest, tastiest, and most common supermarket foods. With the touch of the screen, you can find out how much sodium is in a serving of Heinz Organic ketchup, or how much sugar is in Stonyfield Farms Minty Chocolate Chip Frozen Yogurt.
You can search all different types of foods from dairy products, to frozen meals, to snack bars, to sweets, to meats, to fruits and veggies, to beverages. So instead of running around the store reading product labels, they're all listed in the palm of your hand. Another great feature is that on each product's page, there's a link to the company's website, so if you want to look up a different flavor or product that company makes, it's a cinch.

I just downloaded this yesterday, but I haven't used it too much yet. Love healthy apps!! iPhones rock!
1can't you just compare nutrition labels on the food that's in front of you?
2I agree with mamasitamali. Learning how to read a nutrition label is key. KNOW your food. So much of it isn't real food!
3i feel like it would be less convenient to have to search for the food on the iphone.
