For weight loss success, it’s important to get a good idea of how much and how often you eat. Why? Research has shown that everyone whether heavy or slim underestimates their food intake by 20 to 50%.
By committing your eating habits to paper, you’re more likely to watch what goes into your mouth (and how much). This will allow you to gain a better understanding of your diet and give you greater control over your fat loss.
This chart (below) is designed to help you become more aware of your habits, good and bad. You choose your goal and the length of time you’d like to accomplish your goal in (for example, my goal is to lose 10 pounds in 12 weeks). Every time you eat or drink, log your activity. This will help you chart your food consumption and keep track of what you eat. Each week, plan what you’d like to accomplish for the following week. Keep doing this until you reach your goal.
The idea is to make changes gradually and institute healthy habits you can keep forever. This chart and a pencil will help achieve your goals and help you to work through the toughest weight loss challenges, including getting started, eating smart and staying focused.
Best wishes on reaching your goal!!

Ready Get Set!
1. Realize you’re making a change for the long haul.
2. Start writing down everything you do. Remember to keep track. Little nibbles add up fast!
3. Get a grip on reality. When you start accounting for your food, you will discover you can easily eat anywhere from 3,000 to 4,000 calories a day. KEEP TRACK!
4. Having smaller, more frequent meals can prevent you from getting ravenously hungry and overeating .
5. Drink up! Drinking water suppresses the appetite naturally and helps the body metabolize stored fat.
Below is a sample table that you can use to track your eating habits.
| Date/Time: | Foods Consumed: | Calories/Fat (grams): | Did anything trigger your appetite?(training, stress, hunger pang etc…) |
