Logging every food

I just started logging every bite or drink I take. I think this will give me an insight to my calorie intake. Wish me luck.

    Good luck! It seems time consuming but goes quicker as you get used to doing it. I find it really helps me stay accountable!

    Make sure you are using an actual scale and going by weight instead of the box, serving size, or volume measurements like cup, oz or tablespoon. Theres a HUGE calorie difference between a cup of whole something (like nuts or cereal) and a cup of chopped or ground version of the same item. Going by weight takes all that guesswork out of the equation.
    I discovered I was pretty much eating double the calories I thought, once I started actually weighing my food.
