Studies show that many people underestimate the amount of food they eat at each meal and end up eating a lot more than they think they are. This is one reason why a lot of people can’t account for the weight that they put on. To help you avoid this pitfall, here are some smart ideas for tracking the amount of calories you’re eating:
1. Get a small book and write down all you eat for an entire week, including the dressing you put on salad and the amount of butter you put on your bread, potatoes and etc. Also be sure to include the amounts of calories consumed in beverages too.
2. Be careful to check food labels as sometimes certain foods contain way more calories than you might think.
3. Total the calories, count the number of calories you have eaten for a day and sum it up for the day. This will give you some idea of how well you are meeting your calorie target or not.
4. After recording for your calorie intake data for a week, add the total calorie count together and divide it by 77 to get a figure for average calories consumed per day. This will help give you a clear idea of how well you are sticking to your calorie goals.
Even for people who are fastidious about keeping track of the calories in the food they eat, it can be hard to keep track of the incidentals such as beverages, bread spreads, desert and etc. Always bear in mind that every morsel of food you eat has some amount of calories in it that adds up to your total calorie intake for the day.
