Yes, everyday tracking starts the day. Enter morning foods and begin planning what I will/won't eat for lunch, dinner, and snacks. Then update as the day progresses. That is part of the reason I spend entirely too much time on the computer.

I track everything I put in my mouth, no matter what. I usually even enter food in before I eat it so I can plan out the rest of my day. Even things like my vitamins, gum, and cough drops get logged.

Nothing changes until you do.

I use the Nutrition Tracker as it helps keep me within my goal of calories. Also, I like knowing how many calories are in certain foods before I commit to eating them. I find it to be a useful tool. :)

Yes because it is the only way you can review and alter intake if necessary. Helps you to feel confident that you are eating properly!!!!!! It is GREAT positive reinforcement!!

Yes. It was the whole reason I joined SP. Now I use a lot of other things on the site, but originally, that was all I was interested in.
