Safeway helps you watch what you eat

While perusing Fitsugar today, I came across an interesting application -- FoodFlex from Safeway. Here's how it works: You register for free, using your Safeway club card number, and FoodFlex will keep track of what you buy and give you feedback on your purchases based on current USDA nutritional guidelines. You'll be alerted if your purchases are high in things like sodium or fat, and FoodFlex will also make suggestions of other healthier things to try. You don't need to enter anything or keep track of anything -- it does it all for you. Handy, huh?

Unfortunately, it's only available for US Safeway club card holders, so we Canadians will have to wait until they get a program going for us.
