My wife is an avid believer in the Weight Watchers method of weight loss and control. I don’t blame her – it has worked wonders for her and several of her friends and they all look fantastic!

As the main cook in the house, I like it because it’s a lot easier to prepare food with the Points system than it is when you’re counting calories. It’s not so easy at the grocery store though…

Choosing one brand over another is more difficult because you need to enter the combination of calories, fat and fibre into the official calculator that I often forget to take with me. To be honest, I don’t like to carry it anyway because it takes up valuable space in my pocket and looks very girly.

So I whipped up a webapp for my iPhone that does the same job.

I present Pica! Simply navigate to here on your iPhone or iPod Touch.

Remember it is a webapp, so you must be connected to the internet somehow to use it. To make up for that, it comes with a fancy icon in case you decide to add it to your home screen.
