Food Log
A daily food log is very helpful when you are trying to lose weight or gain weight. You can track what you are eating on a daily basis, in fact on a meal to meal basis, so that you can eliminate the foods that are making you put on weight. If you are not using a food log to lose weight, you can use it to track your food intake minutely in terms of the essential food groups and ensure that you are eating a well-balanced diet. A food log is also instrumental in helping your doctor understand your food habits and track any allergies that you might be developing.
Depending upon the website you use and the features you want your food log to have, you could use a free food log service or you could subscribe to a premium paid service. |
