This site ROCKS. I created a spreadsheet last year to track all of my food and exercise. It's cumbersome to put all of the info in that I want (calories, fat, protein, carbs, sugar) so I rarely use it. I was just thinking today that I really need to get back to tracking my food and lo and behold: The Daily Plate on Livestrong. It's easier than my homemade version because it already has many foods included with all of the nutritional information. All you have to do is choose what you ate, enter your activity for the day and it does everything for you! It really doesn't get any easier than this. Unfortunately, I realized that my calories are WAY under for today. Normally, you'd think that wouldn't be so bad except that I was warned by my trainer (and if you watch Biggest Loser you know) that too few calories actually makes you lose the lean muscle mass you are trying to build. It was a crazy day and I just didn't have time to sit down and eat until dinner--and that was a light one.

It also allows you to make your charts public....I'm not ready for that step yet. Not that anyone cares, but you know, just in case, it would be kind of weird to have people checking up on my eating habits.
