The next step toward a healthier you is to start tracking what you eat. For a couple of days, write down everything you eat and the amount that you eat. Then, add up the number of calories you eat throughout the day. You may be surprised by how much you are eating and how many calories are in the foods you eat. Even if you are very aware of the calorie content of foods and how many calories you eat in a day, being accountable by writing it down can help you to control what you eat and how much. In fact, people who track the amount of food and calories they eat can have greater success in reaching their weight and health goals. Try tracking your food for 3 days at first. Don’t just write down meals, include snacks and even those little bites of things you take here and there – you would be amazed at how everything adds up!

If you aren’t sure what your nutritional needs (calories, protein, vitamins, etc.) are or you would like coaching and support to reach your goals or if you prefer to track your food online, Nourish Family Nutrition Coaching can help with all of these things.
