ABSTRACT = {Obesity is becoming a serious health issue due to the growing number of 
obese people in many countries. iFood, a mobile application to help 
individuals manage daily calorie consumption is presented and ways of 
optimizing the daily calorie needed is achieved by offering information 
of each food and suggestions on food and physical activities that can be
 carried out to balance the amount of calorie intake. The application is
 developed based on the Rational Unified Process Model (RUP) system 
development methodology which comprises of four stages including 
inception, elaboration, construction and transition. We present the 
design, implementation and evaluation of iFood for Android smartphones 
and demonstrate its feasibility in monitoring daily calorie intake. The 
application analyzes emphasizing on its accessibility and acceptance 
test. The results show that participants are satisfied with the features
 provided by the application. They agreed that the application helps 
them to monitor their food intakes and hence to lose weight. },
