Write down what you eat!

So I've been obsessed with these calendars (mostly because of the fun colors!) since high school and after college, I needed a reason to keep using it. 

Lately, I've been keeping track of my meals.  It's a great way to monitor your food (and beverage) intake, which helps you meet your daily nutrient needs and can assist with weight loss.  There's something that makes you put down that piece of cake when you realize you have to see that +300 calories in writing!

I keep track of my breakfast, snacks, lunch, and dinner as well as my workout for the day.  According to UK Department of Health Estimated Average Requirements (EAR), the daily calorie intake for women is 1940 and 2550 for men. However, these numbers are guidelines.  It also depends of your level of activity and whether or not your trying to lose or gain weight.

...Try keeping track of your calorie intake this week!
