Mobile technology Joins The Battle Against The Bulge

Nutracheck Mobile(TM) is a new diet program for mobile phones.This personal food diary comes with a food and drink database and a Barcode QuickSearch technology (to find an item using just 4 digits of a barcode) to help keep dieters on track.

The user completes a personal profile and sets their weight loss goal, and Nutracheck Mobile(TM) recommends a daily calorie allowance. The food diary then allows the user to record exactly what they are eating and drinking on a daily basis. An extensive food database contains the fat and calorie content of up to 30,000 products including alcoholic drinks, fast food outlets as well as major brands and supermarket own labels.

The program also includes FoodSwap(TM), a feature to find healthier options to high fat favourites, using the last four digits of the product's barcode.

Available from 3 January 2006, Nutracheck Mobile(TM) costs one-off GBP5 and is downloaded by texting DIET to 60999.
