Question:
Need help with a food journal

does anyone have any examples of food journals they keep before surgery? Possibly something you had to maintain while visiting a dietician?    — jenbn (posted on August 4, 2008)

I use dailyplate.com. It's free for the standard version and really helps me keep track of what I eat.

Hi, I've had to lose 50-60lbs before my RNY and I've found www.thedailyplate.com to be excellent tool. You just set your goal calorie count for the day and then just pick-n-click on food you eat and it keeps track for you, tells you how many calories you have left, graphs your intake, is exportable to excel, etc. They even have local grocery store brands and chain restaurant foods.

I use or have used sparkpeople.com or fitday.com. Just be honest with what you actually eat when writing it down.

I see someone has already recommended sparkspeople.com and I can't say enough wonderful things about it. My nutritionist loves the sheets when I hand them to her monthly as does my PCP. They are also acceptable for my insurance co...good luck. Kimberly

I use Sparkpeople.com to enter my daily intake and exercise. You can print it out if you need to take it to the dietician. You can also create a community there and talk to your friends. I belong to The Petite Flowers. Good luck, Dawn Vickers, RN, BLC, CLC
