Do you remember what you had for dinner last night? How about what you ate last week? My memory is not what it once was, and I have no clue what I just ate a few minutes ago but if you are trying to lose a few pounds or just trying to improve your daily nutrition keeping a food diary could really help you.

You can purchase food journals online or simply create one yourself on a spreadsheet. Here you can list all the foods you intake, the calories, frequency, and you can slowly start to see patterns in your eating habits that may not be so good. You will be surprised at how you treat your body, on a daily basis.

I personally don’t have a lot of time and I’m not sure I could do this, but I think a couple of minutes a day could help me in the long run see patterns that I want to change.
