ONLINE FOOD DIARY

I have told many of my clients to follow one but haven't actually kept one myself until recently. I always thought I ate healthy so I figured I didn't need to. However, sometimes I wonder if I am getting the right amount of carbs, fat and protein in my diet.

Then I found www.figwee.com. After researching many food journals on line I liked Figwee a lot. It was simple and had images to show proportions that you could adjust to what you ate. It gives you options for your GOALS. For example:

Your Goals

Desired Weight: lbs
Enter your healthy target weight.

Weekly weight loss of: lbs / week
Allow target calories per day to vary based on my exercise / activity.

Fixed calories per day of: calories / day
Set a constant goal of a certain number of calories per day.

Net carbs per day of: grams of carbs / day
Set a constant goal of a certain number of grams of carbohydrates per day

There is an activity log to input your exercise for the day and to see calories consumed versus calories burned. After, you will receive a results page that will post your net calories to show how you are doing. So, you don't have to feel like you are alone in this, they have an online community page to chat with others and ask questions to their help line.

I am a trainer, fitness instructor and a very healthy person but I like using this to keep me in check to make sure I am not consuming to much of one thing. For me, I realized I was consuming a few more carbs without thinking about it (fruit can add up). I know now I need to up my protein a little more.

Check it out, it could help you loose that weight you have been trying to loose on your own for a while now.
