Food Journal

[krissy1189 1]

Hello everyone, so I was told for my insurance bs of ca they require a food Journal does anyone have any ideas on how I can do this? What should it say? Does it have to be detailed to how much I ate in grams or or portion size? Did anyone else have to do this? Please help thanks :-)

I had to keep a food journal for a couple of weeks.. And they wanted as much information as possible. What food, how it was cooked, time, how much Water I drank and when. They wanted the whole nine yards

Ditto to MyFitnessPal - best food diary I've found on the web! I love being able to scan bar codes of things I'm eating, then having their nutritional content just magically appear! It's also great for reports of various things - weight lost, inches lost, macronutrients consumed, Water intake, etc.

It's right in the MFP app on the iPhone. When you go to add a food there's a barcode icon next to the search field. Click it an then hold up to the bar code & it snaps a pic with all the info.

OMG! I'm like a kid with a new toy! THANK YOU!

Seriously - MyFitnessPal has it ALL. Add that to the fact that it syncs with the FitBit One that I wear (and compensates for extra, earned calories from excess activity...which I don't usually eat back)...it really is the perfect website/app!

I also ditto the my fitness pal. It really helps me see where I am in a given day as to how much I have eaten. I like the quick add as my Breakfast tends to be the same thing day in day out.

Wow.. thanks everyone for the app tip. I already downloaded it. Now if I'm using the app as a food journal how can I get that info to print out so it can be sent with my paperwork to get approved?

Log onto the program on the internet (www.myfitnesspal.com) and check out the "reports" section. Utilizing the program online will allow you to get a better idea of what's available to you!

There is a app that I found its called Lose It and you are able to scan bar codes with it. I love it because you can see your Protein intake.
