Track Before You Eat

This Sparked Me!

I have found that tracking the food I plan to eat and making adjustments based on what I see helps me to stay on track and within my caloric range each day.

Before a meal, I track the entire meal, keeping in mind what I plan/want to eat for the rest of the day. I can then add, take away, or adjust portion size to fit my plan.... before I put anything in my mouth. This way, I am sure to stay on track.

    I find that I have much better luck staying on plan (and not over-spending at the grocery store) when I do the same! Thanks!
