Quick Tips: Keeping Track - 1
Keeping track of what you eat, with a long-term goal in mind, is central to effective weight loss. Here are some ways to make the process easier:
1. Count calories only:
Make it as simple as possible.

If your goal is weight loss, keep track of calories alone and use your good judgment to decide what to eat.
