    The App really helps to keep track of what your eating. it does take a little work but if you can plan your meals ahead it makes it alot easier. Good Luck reaching your goals

    well I plan my meals out like I am planning a menu for the most part. I know when im going to eat out vs when taking a lunch. First you have to know your numbers. How many calories do you need and what ratio of macros (carbs/Protein/Fat). So when I plan my meals I plan on how much I am going to eat at each one. so for tomorrow for example Breakfast 10eggwhites 4 oz ground turkey 2 packs of instant grits/ lunch 9oz chicken with 1 cup black beans/dinner 8oz organic ground beef 1 cup brown rice. Once I total those up I will add in my protein for post workout and see where I am overall. I hope that does not sound complicated. To me planning the food is the hardest part and going to the gym is easy.

    In addition to this app, I'm following the Okanawan diet. It has helped me quite a bit especially when I've been trying to lose the baby weight - there's a lot of information about it on the web. Good luck.

    and also check out the website iifym.com I got my numbers and calories from there and plugged them into the app here. I like to still have my cheat meals and as long as I stay within my numbers im ok
