  Innovative, real-time solutions are needed to address the mismatch between
the demand for and supply of critical information to inform and motivate diet
and health-related behavior change. Research suggests that interventions using
mobile health technologies hold great promise for influencing knowledge,
attitudes, and behaviors related to energy balance. The objective of this paper
is to present insights related to the development and testing of a mobile food
recommendation system targeting fast food restaurants. The system is designed
to provide consumers with information about energy density of food options
combined with tips for healthier choices when dining out, accessible through a
mobile phone.
