Food journaling
Hey,
I am not doing a very good job of journaling my food intake. I really need to get better at it, because I am having some issues. I have started a journal several times and I am not good at it. Does anyone have any suggestions? I feel like I would do a better job of doing tha if I had an app on my phone. If anyone knows of some good apps please let me know.
Thanks! :)

I agree, MyFitnessPal is awesome. It's free. It tracks food, weight, measurements, goals, micronutrients, macronutrients. You can enter your own recipe, a recipe on the web, or look up one of the many foods they have prolonged. I was really surprised they have nutritional info for a small Indian restaurant in my city.

Another recommendation for My Fitness Pal; it was tough at first to get into the habit for me to log my food day in, and day out..but it gets easier and becomes a part of your day.
The scanning abi.ity on the app is SO freaking cool...I love it!

Yet another vote for My Fitness Pal. I use the app on the phone to record most of my food throughout the day, and then use the website for recipes. It has a really nice feature where if you use a recipe found online, you can put in the URL and it will extract the nutrition info. It makes it really easy.
