GoodFoodNearYou Serves Up Restaurant Choices for Healthy Eating

GoodFoodNearYou Receives More Restaurant Locations, Menus, and Food Nutrition Information to Add to the Most Comprehensive Publicly Accessible Database for Location-Based Restaurant Nutrition Information

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Increasingly popular free web and mobile service GoodFoodNearYou, which had over 30,000 unique users across Internet, iPhone and BlackBerry in its first month, announces it is getting a major influx of new restaurants and menu items. The free service adds several thousand restaurant locations - including smaller restaurant chains, local mom and pop favorites, and specialty health restaurants such as KnowFat! Lifestyle Grille, Salad Creations, and Susan’s Healthy Gourmet – to the most comprehensive publicly accessible database for location-based restaurant nutrition information. GoodFoodNearYou is available on the Internet and on wireless devices using GPS including the Apple iPhone and iPod touch and various Blackberry models.

A search on GoodFoodNearYou begins by automatically detecting the user’s location using GPS on a mobile device, or by searching near a manually entered location. GoodFoodNearYou delivers the lowest calorie food item on the menu for the twenty restaurants closest to the location. The user can view the menus of each restaurant and sort menu items by lowest calories, fat, and carbohydrates. The user can access detailed nutritional information for each menu item and map the restaurant’s location instantly. The option to save preferred restaurant food and locations is available by registering for free at GoodFoodNearYou.com.

Nick Desai, CEO of Global Fitness Media, the company developing GoodFoodNearYou, says, "GoodFoodNearYou is the first free public service that centralizes restaurant nutrition information and combines it with location-based information – to make it convenient for the average person to make healthier eating choices at the most common restaurants. We are excited to increase the amount of restaurant locations and menu options available to search on GoodFoodNearYou. We now cover over a quarter million U.S. restaurant locations and include over 36,000 menu items.”

"The recent explosion in restaurant nutrition information is great news for consumers, but the information was hidden away on company websites. Not exactly convenient when you're placing your order. Now, thanks to GoodFoodNearYou, this information is at your fingertips," says Donna Feldman, MS RD, owner of D Nutrition Services LLC, and food and nutrition consultant and writer.

Feldman continues, "I am a big fan of the GoodFoodNearYou app, because it empowers consumers with on demand nutrition information, easily accessed with your iPhone or BlackBerry. You can identify the lower calorie entrees, or find other ways to save calories, such as choosing lite salad dressing, leaving the special sauce off your burger, or substituting steamed veggies for mashed potatoes. And GoodFoodNearYou works everywhere, so you don't have to abandon healthy eating just because you're at the airport or a sporting event. GoodFoodNearYou is a great nutrition information tool, and I'm happy to recommend it to my clients."

The GoodFoodNearYou mobile application for the Apple iPhone and iPod touch is available to download for free in the Apple App Store.
