So far

Here is a new log kind of edited but did not come out as good as my original document which I can't seem to paste properly here anyway.

All this to say that this new and improved habit is quite instructive and challenging and interesting.

It also helps for balance and reasoning I find, i.e. Yes I want 2 eggs this morning Yes I had a very hard work out yesterday and I need and deserve them BUT in order to keep my meals around the 300 Calories mark I will have to cut my cottage cheese to 50 g this morning too etc

Or Wow for the calories of that relish and dijon I could have had another can of tuna... but mind you with the band one NEEDS the relish and dijon or something to wash that tuna down :puke:

Or I thought oat bran was empty calories a bit like saw dust...

Or hmmmmm no wonder I plateaued when I was adding two or 3 rounded tablespoons of "Healthy" Peanut Butter to my banana mix

Plus it makes one accountable and I can't say I eat like a bird and still gain weight because it is all recorded.

Anyway from an arithmetical point of view it sure makes a lot of sense.
