If you are worried about how many calories you are going to consume in that slice of pizza, chocolate cake or fruits? A new invention may help you. After taking a picture of the edible with the new camera like invention, it gives a calorie read-out almost instantly. This device is called MealSnap, was developed by DailyBurn, a fitness social network that has created several other fitness and diet related inventions. Within minutes of taking a picture of a meal and matching it to a database of some 500,000 food items, the device sends users an alert with a range of calories for the meal that was photographed. The database can quickly help identity the food, how many calories there are, proteins, fat, carbs, vitamins, whatever you may want to know. Users can then choose to share what they’ve eaten in any restaurant or hotel.
In past calorie counting was a very time consuming process, but the device make it easier to track the calories in food. Additionally, MealSnap can serve as a food diary, allowing users to keep a visual log of the meals they have eaten.
