Meal Snap: Bad for Counting Calories, but Great for the LOLs

Meal Snap claims that you can take a photo of your plate and it will figure out what you are eating and approximately how many calories are in it. It seemed like a dubious idea, and I wondered if the application was any good. After all, I could stand to lose a few pounds. Being a food writer is hard on the waistline, and if Meal Snap worked, it could be a fantastic diet tool. I guess I could rely on self-discipline, too, but that hasn't worked yet.
