kalikshama -> My Fitness Pal (4/8/2012 7:24:33 AM)

Yesterday, when bemoaning how my knee pain makes exercise difficult, my sister suggested My Fitness Pal. I've never lost weight by diet alone, but for her this component has always been her main focus. She's previously been successful using Weight Watchers to lose pregnancy weight gain, but is now using My Fitness Pal, which she says is easier than WW and is also free.
I signed up today with a goal of losing 2# per week. I added breakfast and an anticipated snack, and am already 6 g over my fat calories for the day. [:o]
Guess I need to rethink all that oil I use to saute veggies for breakfast!
Last summer when we had collards, I simmered them in a small amount of water, then added salsa, then poached an egg in the center of the pan, and served with quinoa. I added this to tomorrow's breakfast and found that this would half the calories and fat of today's.
I've always known that food diaries are a great way to bring awareness and accountability to one's diet, but always found them a PITA. I think MFP is easy enough that I can stick to it though.
MFP also helps you make sure you get enough water, fruits, and veggies.
