I keep it electronic (a daily log). I found that I am now able to eye-ball some of the foods and certainly know how much one cup of something is. It really, really helps and is worth the effort. I also like the calorie and nutrition info on restaurant menus. I was in CA recently and found them really useful in making decisions. Thanks for becoming one of my followers, too.Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16422138891797605472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3789015470475947309.post-24988951327591063692010-08-04T13:52:48.597-07:002010-08-04T13:52:48.597-07:00Shane, the potential job sounds great, even if use...Shane, the potential job sounds great, even if used as a bridge to an even better one. It could only help you in your law studies.<br /><br />Like you, I eat the same foods most of the time. So I am learning how many calories are in my tuna salad and 5 crackers, and my 2 egg white & 1 egg omelet. I do a lot of looking back to find when I ate something last and just copy it. And the online trackers are great, too.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15799781800542758688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3789015470475947309.post-67874837186284306332010-08-04T11:24:12.845-07:002010-08-04T11:24:12.845-07:001.

That's **awesome** and keep doing it. The protein is what fills you up so much. Beans also have good fiber (keeps you "regular"). Keep eating a lot of protein (and cutting out the bad carbs) like that and you'll find it hard to eat 2,000 calories a day! <br /><br />2. Calorie counting. I also use www.calorieking.com. After a bajillion years of counting calories I can rattle off calories of most things, especially the foods I eat most frequently. I DO have to look things up from time to time though. Keep doing it even though it's time consuming: it's a good training exercise! <br /><br />3. National law says that (I think by the end of the year) ALL national food chains have to offer calorie information. If the restaurant has 7 or more stores in the chain, they have to post it on the menu -- including the drive-through menu!! Vending machine food will also need to post the calories on the individual items as well. Although some restaurants are already complying with this, such as McDonalds, I'm not 100% sure when all restaurants need to comply...<br /><br />Christine<br />www.phoenixrevolution.netChristinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15187183342257251495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3789015470475947309.post-86748895477020054832010-08-04T09:35:15.612-07:002010-08-04T09:35:15.612-07:00I have used calorie king.
