Zusammenfassung:Keeping a food diet log has been shown to significantly improve diet quality and weight loss efforts. Keeping a diet log is generally tedious. To facilitate that, an image can be recorded of what the dieter is going to eat. This image is then sent to another person for diet log entry. The person entering the diet log may be someone known to the dieter, or a third party. The likely implementation would be the dieter takes a photo with a cell phone, which is submitted to a web application. Dieter pays for a person at the web company to enter the food info from the photo. Dieter may include supplemental information to help identify the food. Existing diet logs require tedious manual entry, and are difficult to use from a mobile device. Tedium and access are major impediments to continuing a diet log.
