Calorie Tracker by Livestrong.com ($2.99)
This handy app allows you to track all the calories you eat and burn in a 24-hour period and set calorie-intake goals for weight loss. If you’re sitting at the Olive Garden and about to order the Taste of Italy, you can look up the calorie, fat, sodium, sugar, protein, and fiber content in the app’s large database of restaurant foods (it also contains food you eat at home, from apples to yogurt, and beverages). If you click on “I ate this” then switch to the fitness search. It will calculate how long you’ll need to do any one of a thousand exercises to burn off your dinner.
Yoga STRETCH ($0.99)
A good app for travelers—or anyone who needs yoga on the go—this app will walk you through a yoga session that’s as short or as long as you’d like. You can even let a virtual instructor provide audio instructions on how to do each pose correctly.
Locavore ($3.99)
Now that you know how many calories are in the foods you eat, find calories that originated as locally as possible with Locavore, a seasonal foods database created with help from the Natural Resources Defense Council. The app also includes data on the closest farmer’s markets, with information from LocalHarvest.org.
Pedometer (Western ITS; $1.99)
Walking is one of the best exercises for your long-term health. Plus, it’s free, it doesn’t require special training or equipment, and it has one of the lowest dropout rates of any form of exercise, according to the American Heart Association. Pedometer, which uses U.S. Army calculations, allows you to enter your weight, your height, and your target calorie burn, and as you walk, it calculates the calories burned with every step you take.
GoodGuide (free)
A useful tool for anyone looking to green his or her shopping list, the GoodGuide ranks foods, cleaners, and household products by both the environmental impact of each individual ingredient as well as the social and eco conscience of the companies that make the products. Want to know if Seventh Generation’s laundry detergent is greener than Tide? Check the score. Need to know which brand of apple juice traveled the shortest distance to get from the orchard to your table? It’s got that too. The guide was compiled by a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, so it’s an independent and credible source of information for people looking to live a little lighter on the planet.
