Summary
Fast Food Calorie Counter Lite does what one might expect it to do, judging by the application’s name. This Android app will give you quite a bit of information about whatever food product you are interested in. The concept behind Calorie Counter is to provide you with a food diary into which you write entries about the food you eat throughout the course of a day. In order to find out information, use the barcode scanner or else enter a search term. You can also select foods from a list of restaurants and brands, so that if you decide to have lunch at a popular fast food chain you can select the meal you are having from the repertoire for that restaurant and enter it in your food diary. Whenever you make an entry you can also include information about the quantity of food that you’ve eaten, as well as the time of day (or evening).
Sounds like a simple concept? Read on to find out just how well it works.
Features & Use
The barcode scanner makes ascertaining information regarding calories, fat, carbs, fibres and proteins of a given food product quite easy—this, however, is contingent on whether one still has the packaging the product came in, and if this product is indeed listed in Fast Food Calorie Counter Lite’s repertoire. I’m in the UK at the moment and I was in Germany two weeks ago, and I’m sorry to report that most items on the British and German markets were not listed in the application’s repertoire. This goes for the list of restaurants and brands as well—most of the things listed in these two categories appear to be North American, so I wasn’t able to find much use for that part of the app over here in Europe. Many popular and international fast food chains are listed, however.
As an alternative you can always try entering the name of the item in Fast Food Calorie Counter Lite’s search engine. If your food product still is not listed you can make a listing for it yourself, should you feel so inclined.
Screen & Controls
Fast Food Calorie Counter Lite’s overall appearance is quite neat and tidy, though the diary list is a bit on the small side. I get the whole ‘see-everything-all-at-once’ thing, but I find that important details (like how many calories were consumed on a given day) just aren’t visible enough.
The controls are easy to use and intuitive.
Speed & Stability
Fast Food Calorie Counter Lite’s overall performance was satisfactory. The barcode scanner is pretty fast, as is the search tool.
Price/Performance Ratio
Fast Food Calorie Counter Lite is available for free from the Android Market. There's also a full version with a bigger list of restaurants available for US$2,99.
