While there are a ton of calorie counting apps on the Android Market, it's kind of nice to see someone producing an app that will tell you what your caloric intake is as result of eating out at popular fast food chains. This app just might be a trucker's blessing. Fast Food Calorie Counter allows you to keep track of calories from places like McDonald's, Burger King, Domino's and Dunkin Donuts, just to name a few. The app supports info from 73 different restaurants and currently holds data for 9,141 menu items. That should just about cover most of it if you like to eat on the go. Get full nutritional info like calories, fat, fiber, protein and carbohydrates. The app would normally run you $2.99, but is free all day long thanks to our friends at Amazon. Have a need for an app like this? Let us know about it in the comments section and then head on over to our apps database for the download or hit up the QR code after the break.

Joe was born in New Jersey and spent most of his childhood moving around from state to state. He eventually made his way to Pennsylvania where he met his Portuguese beauty and made her his wife. He now has three great kids and full access to all of the Portuguese food he can eat. Joe's love for mobile technology began when he bought his first Palm Pilot, a Palm M130 and left it on top of his car, driving off, causing it to smash into a thousand pieces. Forced to buy a new device, he quickly discovered that specs were changing so rapidly he was buying a new device every six months just to keep up. Since then, he has constantly felt the need to have the latest and greatest. When the "smartphone" revolution began and integrating cell phones and PDA's was the norm, he quickly jumped to Windows Mobile for several years until the first Android device was launched, the T-Mobile G1. Joe began appreciating all of the free utilities Google provided and sold his soul (his precious data) to Google long before they got into the mobile OS business. So, there was no hesitation at all for him to jump on board and ride the Android train as an early adopter. And boy has it been a blast. Joe now works in the Engineering & Operations dept for a major mobile carrier where he remotely troubleshoots cell sites and loves being an Editor for TalkAndroid.

  Hi,
  
  that’s because this is an Amazon exclusive for the price. You need to download the Amazon app store apk on your phone and download it from that application.
