Tracking may seem like a daunting task at first to start. But with a few tips, tracking can be simple and take less than 15 minutes a day.
1. Be Honest
Track the small handful of trail mix.
That extra latte you had.
Those "few extra bites here and there" add up.
The goal is not to be perfect everyday but rather to see overall trends of your eating habits.

3. Track How You Feel
A lot of food choices are made out of boredom and our moods throughout the day.

4. Don’t Delay
Log your food intake as you go throughout the day or even prior to actually eating the meal.
Tracking at the end of the day forces you to rely on your memory and perhaps leaves you eating over what you planned to eat for the day.
