Tip: Keep a Food Log

Keeping a food log can help you fine tune your meal plan, identify unhealthy options as well as give you a better view of your macronutrient intake. Once my clients can see their food menu options in writing with specific calories and macronutrients, it opens there eyes to certain unhealthy food options that they previously thought were good for them. It helps to do your homework in logging foods especially if you are eating out alot. Often people are consuming the whole meal as ordered which typically amounts to 2 or more servings when they think they are consuming only 1 serving. Once people realize some of these factors, it is a bit more realistic for them to change up their meal plan and eating habits. Keeping a food log for a week can give you a great view of a days worth of calories, macronutrients, and even micronutrients like vitamins and minerals.
