specifically for scanning product barcodes and returning nutritional info ie carbs, fat, protein that is in that particular item?

I think the Carbs and Cals app is supposed to do something like that if you take a picture of the item, I've never managed to get it to work properly though :(

Sorry that isn't very helpful! o_O

All the info you are asking for is provided on the packaging 🙂
 
My brother swears by My Fitness Pal and says you can scan any item and it'll show up everything and you can log it and save it. Eg he makes the same meal like four days in a row so it saves it for next time

You can also add Details in such as height and weight
 
Yes My Fitness Pal, and my Net Diary both allow barcode scanning if I remember my android days correctly, although they were both a bit flaky with barcodes when I used them but I believe they're much better now. My Net Diary also allows you to track blood sugar and other test results. Fitness pal was my favoured app because it was easier to use, but that was pre diabetes. I did buy Net Diary to use after diagnosis but I couldn't see the tiny screen (I had problems with my eyes at first) so I didn't really get in the swing 🙄
