tracking calories in food

  If you write down what you consume throughout the day, it is possible to easily figure out the calories in each meal - it's just a matter of looking at the packaging of the foods that you consume.   It's also a good idea to get a Calorie Guide that gives you an understanding about the amount of calories found in food items and other consumables.   The benefit of tracking calorie intake to lose weight is the ability to analyze your eating patterns and correct the problem areas. Take a look at a week of your current diet and count the calories that you consume.   You'll be amazed!   You can then find out the exact foods that cause you to become overweight - and then eliminate these!   It will not take long before you are aware of the amount of junk that you are consuming... Get a small diary and write the food you consume!   Make a list of everything and figure out how much you are consuming .... should that seem daunting to you, there are other possibilities...
