It doesn’t have to be this way, however. There is an easy way that you can take the power back in the kitchen—using a food journal to record your meals. Simple, yes, but unbelievably powerful. After all, here are just some of the things that start to happen when you track and monitor your food choices: In Closing When it comes to our diet a lot of us feel a little lost, or helpless. With so much information out there we resign ourselves to being prey to our cravings. There are tools out there to help you combat this helplessness, from doing regular meal prepping to sitting down with a registered dietitian to have them throw together a meal plan for you. But if you want to do something for your diet today, start recording your meals. Your nutrition doesn’t have to be a mystery, or something that you need to feel helpless about.

Pair it with your workout log book and you will start seeing some crazy results in the gym, the mirror, and most importantly, in your overall health and wellness.
