Calorie Tracking
So how many of you track your calories consumed. I've never been a calorie counter and hate the idea of it (though I know it works and will keep me accountable). So, I tried www.livestrong.com which has a calorie counter and all you have to do is put your food journal in. Since I'm home all day w/ daycare I have been keeping it open in my browser and adding to it as I need to. It's really easy and gives you a target calorie count based on your weight, activity level, and your weight loss goals. So far, so good. I like that it tells me how many calories I have left for the day and I don't have to do any math, because that would not be pretty. I'll keep ya'll updated.

I track my food on fatsecret.com -- I've done this since July 23rd.
ReplyDeleteIt really makes a difference :)
Thank you for the comment, Jayne. Do you find it's gotten easier as time has gone on to keep the calorie tracking going?
ReplyDeleteLike everything else, it becomes a habit. You'll find yourself contemplating if what you're about to eat is 'worth the calories'. If it is, you'll cut elsewhere. Its a great tool to get you to think about what you're putting in your mouth.
