Atkins to count carbs on cell phones

Atkins, which is facing a slowdown in sales of its packaged foods and smaller numbers of consumers following low-carbohydrate diets, said early next year dieters will be able to pay for software that will help them track the carbohydrate contents of foods, as well as their own daily carb intake on mobile phones and handheld computers, reports News.com..

"Consumers will be able to purchase the software directly through their phones and will have instant access to information on the number of carbs in certain foods, as well as their personal weight loss statistics".
