Those working in the line of duty have so much on their plates, that getting adequate nutrition can easily get pushed aside. Eating well impacts so many aspects of health–from maintaining top performance at work to longevity and even fertility–that your body’s need for nutrients shouldn’t be ignored.
Enter: technology. We’ve rounded up four great applications you can download to your phone that will help you stay on top of your nutritional needs and food goals. Dig in!

You Ate is a free app that puts a practical spin on the Instagram trend of food photography. All you have to do is snap a pic of your plate via You Ate, and the app creates a visual journal that allows you to concentrate on how foods make you feel and create health goals based on that. The app also times how long you wait between meals and snacks, which is great for first responders trying to remember to eat regularly throughout their shifts.
