I keep my cell phone with me at all times - even in the kitchen when cooking.
MORE INFORMATION:
Every time I put something in my mouth, I immediately record it with the SparkPeople app. Also, I can measure and portion my plate in the kitchen before sitting down to eat. That way, I stay within my calorie range every day.
