With so many 'urgh, look at that big fat celebrity'-style magazines floating around today, it's easy to see why a large section of today's female (and, to some extent, male) population are obsessed with their weight. If you're one of those trying to win the battle of the bulge then you may find EGDiet pretty helpful. The program can be used to control the diet of one, or several people, keeping track of what you have for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The app encorporates a database of foods bigger than Oprah's waistband and indicates the properties, calorie content, carbohydrates, protein, etc. in all of these. Handily, it also gives you the option to add more to the database. EGDiet is deisgned to help you maintain a strict eating regime and records your weight, height, chest, hips, etc. to calculate your body mass and the amount of excess fat you have. Although it can become very tedious inputting everything you put into your mouth into the program, if you're serious about shedding some pounds, then EGDiet is a useful aid.
