Thought it would be interesting and educational to start a thread on all things regarding food logs. Share your thoughts, experiences, questions, successes, failures, news, research, favorite apps, frustrations, benefits, opinions, favorite features, ideas for improving apps and tips for getting the most from your food log.

I believe that food logs are the most powerful tool we have for achieving The Prime Directive - lifestyle changes. What do you think?

Lol - now that's a dedicated logger!

Just wanted to check in with everyone and see how logging was going.

I have been resistant to it this week, not sure why. I have put it off until the evening and I am sure I have missed things. I am really trying to stay on track as this is such a valuable tool.

Lol,haven't even thought about it. Will get back on the wagon Monday.

I started logging my food intake. It was about that time.

Now to figure out how the heck to edit serving sizes in MFP from the default options to the actual size I eat.

Anybody know the secret?

You just click on serving size and select which you'd prefer then under that is number of servings, frequently my number of servings is 0.25 or 0.33.

They're all people from here . That was a shot of the weekly view (instead of daily) on my iPad.

I use the weekly average more than daily. I think as long as we're averaging enough then it's all good!

Thanks!!! Finally figured it out. Makes it more realistic now.

I'm logging religiously now. I should have started from the beginning. I didn't realize what a helpful tool it was! Now I know exactly how much protein I'm getting. If I come up short by the end of the day I add a protein shake and it usually puts me where I need to be. :-)

Hey guys! I'm running terribly behind in everything because of a week of jury duty. We officially went into deliberation late Friday afternoon. Fingers crossed for a verdict today. I'll be back soon!

I was thinking this morning that I had not seen you recently on the boards.
