Record Keeping

[New start 4]

Hey, guys!! OH, I am learning so much!!

I did want to ask though if and how you all track your intake.

Is there a website that is particularly user friendly, or are you doing it manually?

I am 2.5 weeks pre-op and have lost about 30 lbs so far, but I have not recorded my daily intake anywhere, and am kinda convicted that I should do so, so if I hit a stall, I can see what is going on.

Does everyone do this, or am I just obsessing? I don't have any of the latest igadgets, just my laptop and a basic phone with no "apps"

Thanks for your help in advance. To success!!

I'm old school - I use a small notebook and record everything I eat and drink. I track ounces of liquids, calories, and grams of Protein, carbs and fat.

I do have a smartphone with an app on it, but I like the notebook.

I am Pre Op also and my surgeon requires that I keep a food journal. I use fitday.com to track throughout the day then I use a notebook to log my calories, fat, carbs and Protein for the day. On the website you can see your progress and identify patterns in your eating and weight loss, using graphs and pie charts etc. that really are helpful.

I'm with SKCUNNINGHAM--I use a pen and a small notebook. I use Sparkpeople.com to look up nutrition info.

Thank you for the tips- I wull try thoses websites, but I may just end up with the old notebook- thanks for the "permission". Whatever works, right? I need to look at it as rewarding to keep track, not a chore.

I use myfitnesspal.com and the app for my phone. I love the phone app since I can record when I am on the run, and I have four kids, so I am on the run a lot. It's a free program.
