 FoodFavs for the Palm 

Are you counting calories? Or carbs? Or points®? Do you want to keep track of the calories / carbs / points / whatever-other-value of your favorite foods? Do you have a Palm powered PDA? If so, FoodFavs© is for you!

This program will allow you to enter your favorite foods, assign them to a category, indicate the serving size for a portion, and then enter the "value" of the food. For a calorie counter, the "value" is calories, for a carb counter, the "value" is carbs, for a weight watcher, the value is "points", and so forth.

You will be able to sort and search the database so that looking up the value of your favorite food will be easy and quick and available to you when you need it WHERE you need it - at your fingertips! There are several search options available to assist you in quickly finding what you are looking for before you take a bite of that favorite food. You may filter on the food category and/or type in the partial name of the food you are looking for and/or search on the food value. All three searches in combination create a very powerful filtering tool to aid you when your FoodFavs© database grows large.

Features:
  • Allows you to build your own favorite foods list rather than weed through thousands of foods you would never eat
  • For Treo 600/650 users, offers 5-way navigation!
  • Powerful and flexible search capabilities
  • Ability to store databases on your PDA memory card and save space on your device
  • Ability to create database backups on your memory card and restore from those backups

FoodFavs© requires Palm OS version 3.5 or higher

I am not able to provide a tool which will calculate Weight Watcher points® for Weight Watcher users; however, I can provide links to sites which list foods and their values which will help you in utilizing the FoodFavs© tool. I am currently working on a Palm application which utilizes the USDA nutritional database but am having a few issues with it. Never fear, I'll keep working on it! I will probably work at providing the USDA nutritional database in an online tool in the somewhat near future, as well. Meanwhile, the sites below may help you in your weight loss goals and in utilizing the FoodFavs database:
