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.

When you browse the State of Flux from your iPhone or iPod Touch, you will now be served a version of the site that has been optimized just for you! The content remains the same, but the look has changed.

If you prefer to browse with the usual look and feel, simply scroll down and use the slider to switch the theme on or off.

The mobile theme should also work nicely with other mobile touch devices such as the BlackBerry Storm or those running Android, but I haven’t been able to test them.
