Abstract: Software applications for tracking nutritional information, which may be used on a smart phone for example. Product packaging information for a food product may be read and converted to a food product identification for the food product. A comparison of the food product identification against a food product identification database may be used to retrieve food product information for the food product from the database. At least part of the food product information for the food product is added to a user profile. A nutritional profile of the user profile is analyzed based the addition of the food product information for the food product. The user profile is updated with results of the analyzing for tracking nutritional information for the user profile. A user can then monitor food intake (such as fat, calories, sugar, food types), which may be compared to desired targets, goals, or limits.
