Food Tripping – This app gives you suggestions on nearby healthy food places (United States only).
Cronometer – this app gives you detailed calorie counts for hundreds of foods from around the world. I use it myself, even when I am at home, to track my food intake, both calorie and nutrient wise.
My Fitness Pal – Lots of my clients use this app and it is a great tool (like Cronometer) to keep you mindful of how much you are eating.
