Tracking Your Food: The Proper Way To Do It

By Tasha Reed


When you go on a diet one of the first things that you will learn is that it is important to record what you eat during the day. Keeping a food log helps you determine the foods you are eating as well as the foods you aren't eating. One example is that, after following your nutrition for a few days you may realize that you are consuming far too many sugars and unhealthy fats without nearly enough organic nutrients. When you write everything down you are able to see which parts of your diet must change as well as have a simpler time figuring out what kind and how long of a workout you need to do to shrink your waist line and burn the most calories.

But what happens if you've been writing everything down and still aren't reducing your weight? You can observe your foods the correct way or the incorrect way. A food record is a lot more than just a simple list of the foods you eat during a day. Other kinds of important information will certainly need to be written down also. Here are a number of hints that you can make use of to help your food tracking be more successful.

You should be very precise while you write down the things that you are eating. It is just not enough to list "salad" in your food journal. You need to list each of the materials within that salad as well as the type of dressing on it. You should include the amount of the food you take in. "Cereal" is just not very good, although "one cup Shredded Wheat" is. Remember the more you eat of something the more calories you take in so it is important that you list quantities so you know exactly how much of everything you're eating and how many calories you need to burn.

Write down the time you're feeding on items. This makes it possible to figure out when you feel the most hungry, when you are susceptible to snack and what you can do about it. You'll see, for example, that even though you eat lunch at the identical time every day, you also--without fail--start to snack as little as an hour later, every day. You may also be able to determine when you are eating only to have something to do. This is essential because all those are situations that you can choose other things to fill your time with than food.



What kind of feelings are you in when you eat? Write it down! This could show you if you use meals to solve emotional issues. This will likely show you whether or not you gravitate for specific foods based on your mood. Lots of us will reach instinctively for junk food when we feel upset or angry and we are more likely to pick out healthy options when we feel happy or content. When you pay attention to how you eat in the course of your different moods and emotional states, you will be able to keep similar but healthier choices around for when you need those snacks--you might also start talking to someone who can help you figure out why you try to cure your moods with food.
