These new fast food nutrition websites make healthy choices just a click away. Just use your Blackberry or iPhone to check out the websites on the go, or even download the applications. Here are a few of our favorite sites at Amanda’s:
This site locates the most nutritious fast food eats around. Just type in your zip code and it’ll give you the skinny on what low calorie menu items are in restaurants nearby. Click on the menu item and it’ll give you the full nutrition information, a map of the location, and the complete menu of the restaurant.
Don’t really know how to compare apples to oranges? This website will compare them for you! TwoFoods allows you to instantly compare nutrition information between two food items to see which better suits your health needs. Better yet, this website can compare items on restaurant menus too, so you can make nutritious choices at home and on the go!
This classic food database holds the nutritional information for over 50,000 American generic and brand name foods, including over 260 fast-food chains. I used to carry the pocket sized book, but often forgot to use it. Now that it’s available online, I just need to remember to bring my phone!
