Food Tracking Made Easy

Keeping track of your food intake can help you meet your health goals, whether they be losing weight or increasing muscle mass. While there is nothing wrong with the tried and true pen and paper food journal, there are many apps available for free that can make the process easier. The easier the process is, the more likely you are to stick with it.

The app that I currently use and recommend to my patients is MyFitnessPal which is available for free download at https://www.myfitnesspal.com/

It’s great because it helps you easily track the foods you eat, and also calculates how much protein, carbohydrate and fat you are eating daily. It also allows you to set your goals at the start of using it, and you can easily see how you are meeting (or not meeting) your food requirements on a daily basis, so that you can make the proper adjustment. Also, by sharing this information with your naturopathic doctor, they can help you determine how your eating habits can be improved to help you achieve your health goals.

Wishing you good health,
