[quote=Anonymous]I have an excel file - it has a few columns - description of the food, calorie count, and its category. (I note if something is a sweet, unhealthy snack or alcohol.) I like to see what %age of my diet those things make up. I also enter exercise calories burned to get at a net number. I take the calories from packages, from a restaurant's website or I just make my best guess. I don't count all the time, just when I'm actively trying to lose some weight. Counting makes me more conscious of what I'm eating. I'm less likely to eat 3 spoonfuls of peanut butter or drink that second glass of wine if I have to write it down.[/quote]
