I'm keeping a careful food diary of what I'm eating. Throughout the years, I have tried many on-line and paper food diaries. My latest favorite is myFitnessPal.com. this is an on-line program which links to an app on mobile devices. First thing, it's FREE and secondly, with my iPad, I can scan a food barcode and it puts all the nutritional information in my food diary. Pretty nifty. On-line, it has great printable reports and graphs. I keep my iPad in the kitchen, so I input the food diary as soon as I can. I found out that if I wait too long, it's amazing how I forget what I ate.
I wear a "Bodybugg" (bodybugg.com) device on my arm to keep track of how many calories I burn. Not only does it keep an accurate track of calories being burned, but also it's an excellent pedometer. I've been wearing this device for many years. It also has a food diary, but I prefer myFitnessPal for recording the diary. Years ago, BodyBugg was the only game in town, but now there are many similar devices available.
I transfer the BodyBugg information into myFitnessPal, so I have one place for producing reports.
