Using The Food Tracker

This Sparked Me!

Again, this is a no brainer, but for those like myself, who want to deny the obvious...I get much closer to my dietary goals when I enter my food in the food tracker before I eat it. I think it's called planning.

    It is a no brainer, but it's easy & familaiar to just muddle through the day. Then when I get to dinner I toooften find I don't have enough calories left for a satisfyiong meal.

    This sounds so much like my track record-keeping. I also seek to read some of the articles because it keeps me focus on how I approach food instead of being an aimless eater.

    I thought I was the only one that put my food in BEFORE I eat it. It does help me not eat another helping. I sometimes have to go in and remove a food, because I was too full to actually eat it.
