Sprint has teamed up with Canadian-based MyFoodPhone to launch a new service aimed at helping people better monitor their diet.

Using a camera phone, users simply snap a photo of whatever they plan to eat. The pictures are then sent to MyFoodPhone’s nutritionists who analyze the meal’s (or snack’s) nutritional content. Subscribers may then log on to see their photo food journal and a complete nutritional analysis.

Also included is area to record any additional information users care to track such as body weight or blood sugar readings.

The highlight of the service, however, is personal feedback provided via video messages recorded by the user’s nutrition advisor.

The service is available now for $9.99 a month exclusively on Sprint phones, but is expected to be available with other carriers soon.
