First Lady Michelle Obama's Apps for Healthy Kids competition website just posted 95 apps that aim to encourage kids (or encourage their parents) to make healthier decisions and help curb childhood obesity. The competition, which is part of the First Lady's Let's Move campaign, aims to drive the country closer to achieving Obama's stated goal of eliminating childhood obesity within one generation. Some $60,000 in prizes are in play, too. While the competition also includes Web apps, within the 95 entrants, we noticed a half-dozen or so were specifically created for mobile platforms (iPhone and Android mostly).

Here's a quick rundown of a few of the mobile apps in the Apps for Healthy Kids competition -- follow the links for more information on the app, including a video pitch for each:

Using the USDA Nutrition Dataset, it is a tool to highlight proper dietary habits, emphasizing on the daily consumption of the appropriate amount of calories, grains, vegetables, fruits, dairy, meat & beans and essential oils. It also keeps track of all the “extra” calories you consume through out the day. Healthy Balance keeps it simple so that logging your food is not such a choir and since it's on your mobile phone, it's available where ever you go. With a better understanding of how much and what kind of foods you're consuming, you'll be able to make better choices on portion size and food selection. More

Kids quickly try to find which food name it is, e.g. "BANANA", and when they spelled out the complete word, BONUS messages great them with additional information about this food, e.g. "HIGH IN POTASSIUM".
