Tracking your calories and your fitness activities can be a very difficult chore, that is unless it is fun to do and easy to maintain on a daily basis. I've been looking for an easy way to track everything that can actually help me lose weight and I finally found it. Well, my wife found it, but I downloaded the application to my phone, created an account for the computer, and absolutely love it.
This application or tracking program is called My Fitness Pal and is my current case study for Perfect Body Health. I am running a three month case study to determine if it can help me lose weight. And let me tell you, it is already helping more than I could have imagined.
Here's how it works:
1. Sign up for an account and enter your weight and your goals.
2. When you eat something, add it to your "food" and it will add in how many calories, protein, fat, carbohydrates and other nutritional items to your daily diary entry.
3. When you work out, add it into your diary and it will subtract the proper amount of calories to reach your goal.
4. Check your progress toward your weight loss, diet, or fitness goals.
It's very easy and it really helps regulate what you are eating. Before I eat something, I look it up in My Fitness Pal and see how many calories and such it has. It is a great tool for tracking your calories and fitness and will help you become aware of your food intake so your can eat right, exercise right, and live healthy.
Start tracking your calories with My Fitness Pal today. Also get the application for your phone so you can add entries and check food calorie counts on the go.
