Nutrition Information via Text Message is Depressing
Posted by Bradley under Personal, Technology
Drive-thru is bad for you and you’re a fatty. And Diet.com’s mobile Nutrition on the Go service will tell you about it.
Texting the name of the item you are about to order to shortcode DIET1 (34381) will yield results like calorie content, carbs, fats and protein. Almost instantaneously. Just about enough time to decide that extra taco won’t look so good on your thighs.
100% FREE and one of my all-time favorite uses of shortcodes. Besides 40404. 
You can try it without burning through your precious texts at the link.
