Big Thanks!

Smartphone apps for diet are very helpful since a lot of dieters use smartphones to track their progress on their diet. It is best when these trackers come in handy and smartphones are the answer for that. And thanks for the list of apps not only helpful, they're also free.

Great resource of health info

We are living in the technology based world. It's really tough to think about a single issue beyond of tech or internet. Before reading your article, I had zero knowledge about the diet & nutrition software for PCs & laptops. I actually amazed by hearing these software names. Thinking how the world is running after tech. However, I am familiar with some apps for Smartphone you mentioned. These apps are top class apps for health and nutrition. However, I usually read a health blog regularly and now your list will help me to broaden my knowledge about various health and fitness issue too.
