Price: FREE at itunes.apple.com
Featured in The Today Show, The Wall Street Journal, MSNBC, Marie Claire, and People Magazine, I like this calorie-counting app because you can use your voice to enter your food choices, rather than typing them in.

Price: FREE at itunes.apple.com
This calorie-counting app is perfect for a lazy girl like me — it has a built-in barcode scanner, so you don't have to enter your calories by typing them in. It's also perfect for a cheapie like me, because it's free.
4. Calorie Tracker - LIVESTRONG.COM
/filters:quality(70)/content/diet/2012/01/4_calorie-tracker-livestrong-com_320x480.jpg){kind=tracking}
Price: $2.99 at itunes.apple.com
Why would you pay $3 for a calorie-counting app, when there are so many free ones on my list? Because this one's the best, and it does a lot more than just keep track of calories. It's more of a directed, goal-oriented food and exercise journal, with one intent: to help you lose weight. It's worth every penny, and still costs less than a fru-fru latte from Starbucks.
5. Fast Food Calories

It's free. It's easy to use. The interface is intuitive. What else could you ask for in a basic calorie-counting app? Nothing. Trust me.
