Georgia and Rene talk about nutrition. And phasers. Okay, mostly nutrition. Why it’s important, how you can get the fuel you need even while living a fast-paced, tech-filled life, and some tips, tricks, and picks on how to eat and feel better.

Read on for the show notes!

Bad nutritional habits

Skipping breakfast
Eating everything on your plate.
Eating on the run or while you work
Gulping down your food and eating too much
Not enough veggies
Forgetting to eat because you’re working or playing too much on your gadgets!
Too much Caffine, Salt, Preservatives, Simple Sugars, Unhealthy Fats

Tricks for better nutrition

Buy convenient, pre-cut fruit and vegetables and put them in front of you so you snack on them
Stop eating when you’re full and put leftovers in the fridge or freezer for later
Don’t buy junk food, that way you can’t eat it
Don’t deny yourself treats, just focus on good ones and have them in moderation

Homework

Get out your favorite note taking app or your pen and journal and write down what you eat every day, and how you feel after eating it. Do you feel sleepy, lethargic, bloated, grumpy… or do you feel light, energized, happy?
Keep doing your breathing
Keep up your good sleeping habits
Keep up your 10min a day, 5 days a week cardio

Giveaway

One week left to enter! To coincide with ZENandTECH 4: Exercism, we’re giving away a barely used, mint-condition Nintendo Wii (we review a lot of stuff we never have a chance to use later). One lucky listener will get to work out, and have fun, with Wii Sports and a bunch of other active, exciting games.

All you have to do to enter is head on over to iTunes and give ZENandTECH a review. (We’d love 5 stars, but that’s not a requirement!)

And hey, if you already have a Wii, enter anyway. You can give it to a loved on or friend, a child or grandparent, anyone who would benefit from staying healthy and having fun!

That’s it! Go enter!

iPhone owners are, for the most part, a sophisticated bunch. Whether it’s because their good taste in mobile devices carries over to the world of food, or because expensive data plans price out the unwashed masses, you’ll see lots of folks texting and fiddling with their iPhones at your local farmer’s market or Whole Foods. And, if you sneak in closer and peak over their shoulders, chances are you’ll spot one of the following great apps for foodies.

Stacked Restaurant chain is going to use the iPad to enable customers to order their food at the table, reducing the need and cost of waitress service. The new restaurant chain is set to open their first restaurant in Southern California in May, with two more to follow.

An iPad will sit on each table within a metal framed stand and provide customers with the choice of what goes in their burgers, pizzas and salads. They can select the type of buns, meat, toppings etc by clicking and dragging icons on the touchscreen. The resultant menu choice will be viewable on the iPad screen when complete. Diners can also pay for their food via the iPad.

Co-founder Paul Motenko said, “We’re not going to market it as an iPad restaurant.” When Stacked founders first considered a concept with guests creating their own meals and ordering them on tabletop devices, the iPad didn’t yet exist. iPads were the breakthrough.”

Should anyone wish to walk away with the iPad on their table, an alarm system will sound as soon as it is taken outside; similar to the system used in stores today.

The iPad is being used in many different situations, we have recently seen them it in the New York Plaza, offering a concierge experience as well as in Grand Central Terminal being used as a cash register. Not sure if Apple envisaged such uses for the iPad but it is only going to become more widespread.

Have you seen the iPad being used in any other stores or restaurants? Let us know in the comments!

Finger Cookbook

Pros:
-Badge icon appears on downloads icon to notify you of new “cookbooks”
-User submitted recipes with photos
-Sort recipes by different filters
-Easy to use UI
-Metric & English measurement conversion tables.

Cons:
-Occasional crash when refreshing the Downloads page.
-No ingredient or step check off list.
-If you press the “sleep” button on your iPhone, it interrupts the download of new cookbooks.
-Photos don’t always appear in recipes (or aren’t there to begin with. A “default” image would be nice)

3.5/5

is as you may have suspected, a recipe app. But this app is different than any of the others in that, Chef bloggers can submit “cookbooks” containing 10 recipes or more to be submitted it to the app devs for implementation into the app!

Currently the application has recipes from 11 different blogs and contain some really good looking recipes I might add.


The UI itself is fairly basic, is split into five sections and is quite reminiscent of the iPhone’s AppStore.app. First, you have the downloads section. This is where new cookbooks will appear as they are submitted, this allows you to only download the “cookbooks” that you want.

The second section is the Recipe section. This section lists your cookbooks that you have downloaded & their recipes within.

The third section is a favorites section. You can add recipes to you favorites for easy reference at a later time.

Fourth, is a the Search section. This is self explanatory…

Lastly, the fifth section is an explanation about the app & how to submit your recipes as well as some Conversion charts, in case you need to know how many milliliters are in 1/4 cup…

I was quite surprised by the quality of each recipe – written & photographed (might I add, the “Chestnuts soup with turnip tops” recipe from Irene binaghi, is mighty good.)

Some of the issues I encountered: I had the app crash when reloading the download page. This only happened to me twice ant was sporadic. In cookbooks, when displaying the list of recipes, a thumbnail photo is visible; however, in viewing the recipe by itself, the photo did not show up (this only occurred in some of them).

Overall this is a really neat concept. Some of the main things that I felt were missing from the app – a lack of check boxes to know which ingredients you have added or what step you are on. I’d really like to see this implemented. Another thing that would be really cool to see, would be a global rating system that users vote by only within the app.
