Currently, there are millions of food products available, and, the difference between two very similar ones may be greater than you think, at least to healthy levelso an app like the one we will see today can make you eat much better with little effort.
It is completely free, and only with scan barcode You will instantly obtain a score from 0 to 100 on its quality level, with 0 being the worst food you can eat for your health, and 100 being the healthiest, so you can eat well without having to look at everything at hand.
App to measure food quality
The application is called Yukaand we can find it in the App Store. Once downloaded and installed, we will only have to access through an account that we will create, and start viewing products. It is as simple as opening the “scanner” and pointing at the barcode of any food, be it milk, fruit, snacks, meat… or another product that is packaged or has its own code.
Unless it is a very strange food or exclusive to an establishment that is not popular, it will appear immediately your scorebased on the different macros and compounds it has.
At this moment, we will have a section called alternatives, where we can view similar products but with much better nutritional value. We see an example in this photograph that we have at the top, where an appetizer with a score of 33 out of 100 can be replaced by another much healthier one that, in terms of satiating and flavor, can be similar.
Within each category the score may vary, since obviously, no matter how healthy French fries are, they are not going to be the same as grilled chicken. However, as we said, it will depend on each type of food, since in this In case we would go into fried foods, appetizers, etc., which will never be truly healthy, but, at least, among the bad, choose the best.
We will also have another section where we will see the synthesis of everything we have scannedas well as a history, in case we want, more calmly, after returning from the supermarket, to see why a product is actually healthier or less healthy, since within each one we will also have the nutrients divided.
We leave you the app here, in case you want to download it directly from the App Storeas we said, is free and will not have a cost inside, so we can use it without limit and without having to pay anything, which makes it even more attractive.
And you, are you one of those who look at the nutritional values when buying something you don’t know, or, on the contrary, do you not care? If you are one of the first, you will surely love this app, at least to me it seems super convenient and easy to use, ideal for eating well and healthy, although in the end the healthiest is also the most expensive, and the price is still that second way to know if something is good.
