Health Department Launches "CalCutter," a Free Mobile App to Help Cooks Calculate and Reduce Calories in Recipes
Celebrity Chef and New York Times bestselling author of the Now Eat This! series Rocco DiSpirito to Contribute Low Calorie Ingredient Swaps that Promote Healthier Cooking
The Health Department launched a free mobile app today that will help cooks calculate how many calories are in the food they prepare and find ways to reduce calorie counts. With CalCutter, restaurant chefs or home cooks can enter the ingredients and number of servings of a recipe and the app will calculate the number of calories per serving in the finished dish. CalCutter will then suggest alternative ingredients or cooking methods that reduce the number of calories in the dish. The Department also announced it will be working with celebrity chef and New York Times bestselling author Rocco DiSpirito to incorporate low-calorie ingredient swaps into the app. The free app is available for download on iPhone and Android deviceshere. A web-based version is also available here.
