Too Lazy To Count Calories? Now You Can Just Take A Picture Of Your Meal

Wow. If this app had been pitched to us on the 1st, I would have been sure it was an April Fool's joke. Coming in a few days later, however, it seems almost genius.Given that my job of sitting in front of a computer and blasting out gadget news isn't exactly an active one, I've gotta be fairly careful to avoid packin' on the pounds. At one point this entailed keeping a fairly detailed journal of meal calorie counts tediously pulled ingredient by ingredient from a time-wrecking databases. As you can probably tell from my unenthusiastic tone and use of words like "tedious" and "time-wrecking", that didn't last too long.If this Meal Snap iPhone app works as promised, however, I might just go back to keeping track. The idea: Take a picture of your food, send it in to Meal Snap, and after some techno-sorcery and number crunching, it'll spit out a rough estimate of the calorie count and track it for you.
