Help a newbie with TRACKING!

Hey y'all! I'm only 7 days post-op, but I'm making myself a food journal to have bound so that I can carry it with me everywhere. I also have MFP, but I love to write things down and see patterns! I'm an OCD list maker!!!!

In my food log, which nutritional facts are the most important to track? Right now, I have listed: CALORES, CARBS, Proteins, FAT, & SUGARS. Are any of those not necessary or somewhat unimportant?

When I come to a stall, I want to be able to look back and see where the intake numbers have changed to help me get out of the stall. I just don't want to waste time counting sugars if its really not a necessity, you know?

Hey y'all!! Sorry I've been out of pocket!!!

I have finally put my book together and it's AMAZING! :) I need to edit it so it can be generic' date=' because it's completely tailored to me! I want to put it in PDF format that will be easy to print.

I'm a teacher getting ready for school, but I promise I'll get it done soon! :) Those of you who have posted in this thread, I'm going to EMAIL you a copy. But I've learned that there are dozens of other people from my support group who want it and my NUT wants to sell them! So I'm going to sell them!! But y'all get it for free![/quote']

I'd buy a copy from you, I'm 12days out and still trying to decide the best way to track all of this.

Hi !! Just wondering if you were still planning on providing free copies of you PDF ?? I think I would really benefit from s hard copy for tracking. Thanks :)

I love this too! Wow - what a super tool! Apps are great, but add me to the lost of hard copy lovers

I am interested too

I would love a copy of this as well!!

Hope the op is doing well with her journey!!!!

Wow, I am really impressed with what you've done! Would love, love, love a copy! Also, since your a teacher and I know school just started back, I would be more than happy to help you edit it and send it back to you. I'm pretty good with that sort of thing and am excellent at PowerPoint, adobe, etc. along with a few other programs! I'm sure the source file is large and may not be emailable, so please let me know if you want some help! I could use a new project to work on!!

I would love to have a copy too and wouldn't mind paying for it.

Please put me on the list too. My surgery is Wednesday and I'm sure this will be a great tool!
