Why you should keep a Food/Exercise Journal
Remembering to write down everything you eat and keeping track of your exercise can sometimes seem like a hassle, and it’s easy to find excuses not to bother. But there are a number of advantages to recording what you eat.
Accountability
If you’re one of those people who “hardly eats a thing” yet is still overweight, or exercises until your blue in the face, writing down everything can be an eye-opener. (And if you suspect you might have a medical problem such as an underactive thyroid, keeping a written record of how much you eat and how much you exercise will be useful if you consult a doctor.)
See where you’re going wrong
After a few days of keeping the journal, you’ll start to spot areas where you could easily cut down. Maybe those occasional biscuits that see you through the working day add up to several hundred extra calories by five pm … or perhaps that giant mocha from Starbucks (that doesn’t fill you up at all) contains a horrifying amount of sugar and fat. You might noticed that you missed 3 days straight of cardio training or that appointment with your trainer. When its time for the weigh in and measurements, you can see your performance during the 21 days.
The Daily Journal allows you to track your nutrition intake and exercise program in the same journal. It also provides educational information with charts, graphs and food exchanges.
