Lose Weight: Keep a Food Diary
Filed Under Weight loss
One of the easiest and most effective ways to lose weight is to keep track of everything you put in your mouth. Keeping a food diary will help you realize exactly how much you’re eating.
By the time you account for each little nibble here and there, snacks, meals, alcohol, cookies, etc. you’ll be surprised (and maybe horrified) at how much you can consume without even knowing it.
MyFoodDiary.com gives you the tools you need to make good, healthy decisions about food and exercise (including a food diary, an exercise log, powerful charts & reports, a body log, and a discussion forum).
The online food diary is easy to use. Simply search the food database of over 30,000 items and add your items to the food diary. They take the information that you have entered and give you suggestions about how to improve your diet or how to stay within your calorie goals. They count more than just calories. They also track fat, saturated fat, carbohydrates, sugars, fiber, sodium, cholesterol, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium, and water.
Their exercise log lets you keep track of the calories burned through physical activity. Select from a list of over 600 activities or enter the information from your exercise equipment or heart rate monitor.
For all you type A’s out there, there are dozens of motivational charts & reports. Each report or chart is customized to your individual needs. You can view your progress over time, receive personal tips, and even see what you would weigh in 3 months.
