Food Diary ideas
I'm like you I like good old paper and pencil when I log. I had a great book that listed carbs,protein, fats and calories that I used but I bet something like the Atkins website would have a pretty good nutrition list or really any good one on line as long as you use the same one all the time. Just google nutrition lists and I'm sure you'll find something you can use. I like having to look up all the ingredients and writing them seems to impact my brain more than if I used a computer or phone for it
I started out on postop day 3 with the DietMinder Personal Food & Fitness Journal, but I eventually abandoned that in favor of MFP. I have no smartphone, tablet, nor iPad, so I can only access MFP through my PC. As a SAHM that's not such an issue for me.
The book is about 8.5" x 6" including the spiral binding. Its two-pages-per-day format includes columns for the things we normally track -- calories, fat grams, carbs grams, fiber grams and protein grams.
