Logging Food Intake

In my previous post, I mentioned keeping a food diary. I tend to keep things "hands-on" and simple so I just use a small spiral memo pad that can fit in my pocket, gym bag, or brief case. Some of you "techies" may find it easier to use the numerous gadgets out there to keep track of you food intake. One such item is Calorie Count Mobile (Shape Magazine, February 2009). You use your text messaging service to log your foods and get a message with the calorie count and a link to more detailed nutritional breakdown. There are many other services similar to this so if you would rather use a device to keep track, you have no excuse!
