My Food Diary Hacks That Changed Everything

I used to think I ate pretty healthy—until I actually tracked it. My first week of keeping a food diary was a wake-up call (hello, random snacks and mystery calories!). 💡 Write down everything—even that handful of chips or coffee creamer. The little stuff adds up fast. 📌 Break down mixed foods by ingredient. Instead of just “sandwich,” jot down the bread, turkey, and mayo separately. It makes a difference! ⚠️ Track how you feel before and after eating. Noticing patterns (like feeling sluggish after lunch) helped me spot foods that didn’t agree with me. ✅ Measure portions, don’t just eyeball. I started using a cheap food scale and was shocked at my real serving sizes. Turns out, a food diary isn’t just about calories—it’s about learning what actually works for your body. #FoodDiary #HealthyHabits #RealTalk #Health #Diet
