Keep a Food Log if it helps...

If you are trying to loose wieght and not sure where those extra empty calories are coming from, keeping a food log may help. The first step to making a change is becoming aware the change needs to be made. It is a best practice of many fitness professionals to have their clients visit a website that tracks or keep a list of the there food intake for the first couple of weeks they are attempting to change their eating habits. So HC has listed some websites below that may help you. Good luck.
