Create and Assess Your Food Journal in Six Steps

Keeping portion sizes on record is important so you can accurately record the number calories you are taking in. If you do not know the portion of the food you ate, an "eyeball" estimate will work for now. Visit Calorie Count Plus to find out the nutrient data on almost any food. You can also purchase books that list nutrient data if you would rather do this offline. You may also wish to track your fiber intake and fat grams. You may find it easier to do this portion of your record-keeping all at one time at the end of the day instead of taking the time to do it "little by little" as the day progresses.
