Food Journal

"How to Use a Food Journal to Track Your Progress"

A food journal is a necessity for achieving diet success.  When you use a food journal to keep track of how many calories you are currently consuming, you will be better able to see how well your weight lifting diet is working for you.

An experienced bodybuilder or weightlifter knows that keeping track of what works and what does not work for them by trial and error, is in the end, the ticket to building muscle now!

If you are computer savvy and can make your way around a spreadsheet program, you can easily develop your own food journal.

After your initial setup time, updating your nutritional log on a daily basis will be as easy as "copy-paste" functions.

An even easier way to keep track of your calorie intake is to use on online fitness journal, such as fitday.

You can also use fitday to keep track of your exercises, weight and goals.

You'll also find an activities section where you can include various daily activities that may affect your daily caloric expenditure.

A very handy tool to help you keep track of your diet.

Remember, there is no magic formula when determining what your calorie intake should be.

It is a very specific to you, your body type, the intensity of training and your goals.

Your individual response to diet and exercise is king; not formulas.

But, fitday does provide a good spot to record your food journal online and can save you the time of setting up your own spreadsheet nutrition log.

And for those that want extra whistles and bells, you can buy fitday for your PC.

The food journal software is saved to your hard drive and comes with more options.

You can take a tour on their website of how the journal software works on your computer before you decide to buy or go with the free version.

If you are interested in the desktop version, here's a hint to save you 10 bucks at the time of this writing:

If you sign-up for a free account at fitday.com, then go to "Home" and click on the "Advanced Weight Loss Software for $20" link, you can save $10.

If you were to visit the site without signing up for a free account, you would have to pay $30.

Hey, every little bit helps buy a few more chicken breasts :)

So there you have it.  I hope it's clear that keeping a food journal can be a wise addition to your muscle building tools arsenal.
