Fruit vs Candy

Normally $1.99.

If you ever wanted to know how often you eat bad stuff, Fruit vs Candy is the app for you.
In a very easy way you will get control of when you eat unhealthy food.

If you want to loose weight or just eat healthier, it’s important to understand your eating habits.
By knowing how often and when you eat the bad food, you can much easier avoid eating it.
Main features:
* You just swipe or click to add food easily.
* Weekly and total overview
* Beginner tutorial
* Daily remainder can be set at any time. i.e. 7.30 PM if that suits you the best.
You decide what candy is to you.
It can naturally be normal candy, chocolate or chips. But it may also be too large portion-size.
The average person often eats too large portion-sizes and by adding that as your “candy”, you will understand how often you eat too much.

It’s usually hard to add exactly what you have eaten to be able to know the exact calorie-intake you have.
It’s much easier to just add what type of food you had – Good or Bad – ‘Fruit or Candy’

And if you want to succeed with your goal, it’s very important to understand your habits before you can break them.
