Foodtweeks review
Foodtweeks is an innovative app that helps you find ways to save calories in your diet by making small, basic changes to meals you make at home or purchase while out. While you save calories, you're also helping others. For every calorie you save from your own diet, Foodtweeks will donate an equivalent number of calories worth of food to local food banks.
Pros
Useful and charitable concept: The concept of this app is original and hard not to like. Almost everyone is happy to lose a little weight, and if you can help the less fortunate while doing so, it seems like a win-win proposition.
Ease of operations: This app is very easy to use. A quick search brings up a list of options that should match the food you want to eat. The suggestions range from holding the mayo on a burger to replacing the top half of the bun with a piece of lettuce.
Cons
Complex signup: Signing up for an account is a fairly arduous process. You have the option of just signing in with Facebook, but if you like to keep your accounts separate, you're greeted with a sign-up process that is several questions longer than it probably needs to be.
Restaurant oriented: The suggestions for the restaurants are easy to follow, as they just require ordering the foods as pointed out by the app. The home-based suggestions are sometimes rather vague and difficult to follow. Other times, they're phrased like a restaurant option, and say "get it without" or "order" instead of using the correct verbiage for cooking at home.
Bottom Line
If you want to lose weight, this is a great app with some helpful suggestions for doing so. The best part of it is that you can do some good for other people while also doing some good for your own health.
