Help your success with daily management of fat loss with the use of a food journal. Don't underestimate the value of a food journal! Until you get your eating under control, you definitely need to keep a food journal.
Research has proven that you will have a better chance of succeeding with your nutrition plan and fat loss if you keep a food journal. By logging your actual food choices, you are holding yourself accountable throughout the day. You will also be forced to plan your meals better.
In your food journal you should note:
1) List food, calories and serving sizes for every snack or meal. List details such as meats, drinks, vegetables, fruits, etc. For each meal, list why you ate--such as you were angry, sad, happy, hungry, etc. This is very important because moods can affect food choices. You need to know your motivations for eating.
2) Did you eat at home, at a fast food joint, restaurant, etc. Eating on the go can wreck your nutrition plan. Include this information with every meal.
3) Compare your food journal with your nutrition plan every day. This is the ultimate check on yourself and your eating habits.
A food journal will also help protect you from binge eating.
