Pic Healthy - Photo Food Diary

Pic Healthy Photo Food Diary makes healthy eating fun and easy with the help of your friends! Take pictures of your food, rate how healthy or unhealthy it is and let your friends be the judge! Slipped up and ate a deep-fried pizza? Your friends can comment on your photo to help you get back on track. Ate like an angel? Your friends can cheer you on.

Research shows that the simple act of tracking what you eat promotes positive behavior change around eating by making you aware of your food choices. Pic Healthy makes tracking easy — by taking pictures of your food you’ve created your very own photo food diary. You can also view galleries and slideshows of your (and other users’) photos, categorized by Healthy, Unhealthy, Tasty, Not-So-Tasty and Favorites. Mark photos of yummy-looking foods as a favorite to save them for inspiration later, and follow people whose photos interest you.
