Take your Food Journal to the Next Step!

So you've started a food journal but you've found it too bulky to carry around. Or maybe you're okay with writing it down but now you want to know how many calories, fat grams, etc are in each serving. Maybe you also want to keep track of what nutrients you are lacking in your diet. How about how much water you're drinking each day?

There are many different smart phone apps and internet sites that can accomadate you. My favorite is http://www.myfitnesspal.com/, not only can you keep track of everything online, but it also has smart phone apps, and apps for your tablets or iPads too. The apps and website sync together so that you can add to your daily entry no matter where you are or what you have access too. The best part: IT'S COMPLETELY FREE!
