Zusammenfassung:An improved system for accessing food data and tracking a user's food intake includes a nutrition information system and a mobile PDA or smartphone-based tag reading system. The two systems are configured to communication. The mobile tag reading system includes a tag capture device for reading the nutritional tag, and a decoder for decoding the header or visual effects included in the nutritional tag to identify the predetermined profile. The decoder is also configured to decode the nutritional tag to generate the subset of the dietary product descriptions and associated nutritional values based upon the predetermined profile. A tracking log is included for storing the associated nutritional values or the modified associated nutritional values based upon input from the user.
