Track What You Eat
Many people can benefit from logging what they consume, and it has never been easier to do. By noting what you eat, you become more aware of your food choices and the energy you are taking in. This gives you important information on how to manage your weight better since most people vastly underestimate the calories in the food they eat. I've listed a few of the most popular sites and apps below to track food intake. They are all great and have huge databases which makes them very easy to use and can be integrated with other devices like a Fitbit or Apple Watch. They can all be used for free, and some can be upgraded to premium status for more perks, but it is not necessary. Pick one and stick to it, it will make a difference in your weight loss journey!
