My Fitness Pal

For the last few weeks Mark and I have been logging what we eat on a website called My Fitness Pal - www.myfitnesspal.com . This is a site where you can keep track of how many calories you take in each day. You track your exercise and weight as well.

It would be easy to just use it as a calorie counter, but it's more than that. It breaks things down by how many nutrients I am taking in. I think that is an important piece of the equation as well.

My "goal" each day is to take in 2030 calories. My personal goal is to come in under that by a bit. I understand I will have days I am over, but by in large I have done a good job keeping the calories in check.

Once you enter a food, it tells you how much calories you have taken in, but you have to be honest with it. Don't just assume you had 1 cup of something. Chances are, you had a couple cups. :-)

I encourage all of you to look at the website.

I find it is helping me stay honest in one I am doing fitness wise.
