MY PLANS - PART 1


Beginning January 4, I am going to start using My Food Diary on a daily basis.


Myfoodidary.com is an online program I have used in the past to record food, activity, weight and measurements. They also have an online community for support.


The nice thing about the program is that they have a huge data base of foods from restaurants and grocery items, so you can easily track not only calories, but other nutritional information. You can enter ingredients for recipes and save them. I also enter my typical breakfast and then just enter it as 1 item, instead of several individual componants.


In the Exercise Log I enter my daily activity, including exercise. My job requires a lot of standing, I enter that, too. The program then calculates the calories burned by the activities.


In the Body Log section, I can enter my wieght and measurements and then update over time.
