Online Diet and Exercise Diaries
Keeping a diet record helps you become more mindful of what you are eating, how much you are eating, and whether or not you are meeting calorie and nutrient goals. Before nutritional analysis software programs existed, only dietitians or those with the patience of a saint were likely to perform manual calculations of calorie and nutrient intake. I remember reading those charts with my eyes feeling like they were going to cross; and without a ruler, it was almost impossible not to jump rows and record incorrect data. Well, those days are long gone, and now we have online calorie counters to do the tedious work for us.
Online food diaries, such as MyNetDiary, help you think about the type of food you are eating and how it is prepared. The fact that you have to choose one particular food item over another encourages you to become more aware of calorie differences between foods prepared in different ways. For example, there is a difference in the number of calories in 3 oz of skinless roasted chicken breast (140 calories) and roasted chicken breast with skin (168 calories). The calorie difference comes from the higher amount of fat contained in the skin and just beneath the skin. Recording foods directly into an online calorie counter helps you see the immediate benefit of choosing to eat the skinless chicken. There is a saving of 28 calories and 4 grams of total fat (of which 2 grams are saturated fat). This might not seem like a big difference, but over time, these extra calories add up. It is similar to what happens when you don't fix a leaky faucet. That slow drip over time means a higher water bill.
Another benefit of using an online diet diary is the fact that you have to enter the amount of food or drink consumed. This makes you aware of the portion size. If I enter "banana" as my food item, and then enter the "amount consumed," I see that there are various portion sizes to select from. This information also serves to educate me: a small banana measures 6 - 7 inches and contains 90 Calories whereas a large banana is 8 - 9 inches and contains 121 Calories. This type of information helps us make more informed choices about portion size for future meals. The calorie difference between portion sizes becomes striking when high calorie (usually high fat) foods or beverages are involved (e.g. French fries or baby back ribs).
A particularly important benefit of using an online diet and exercise tracker is the ability to track calorie balance over the course of the day as well as over weeks, months, and years. I find this very effective for weight loss, since the model for food intake changes from the "restrictive eating" to the choice-based "calorie budget" approach. This is very much like a money budget. Even if one is on a budget, there are times when a person will want to buy new clothing for a wedding or perhaps take the family out to the movies. These expenditures may not be necessary, but buying these things can be perceived as improving one's quality of life. Same is for the person who is trying to lose weight but loves certain high calorie foods. It is possible to lose weight and still occasionally eat birthday cake, ribs, French fries, or a Philly cheese steak. I have done it myself. Sometimes I simply reduce the portion size of these high calorie items. Other times, I will eat the full portion. In any case, I adjust my calorie intake and/or physical activity to help stay within my calorie budget. I might do this the day of the high calorie meal or I might adjust the intake the day before and/or day after. After all, it is calorie balance over time that ultimately affects whether or not you lose, gain, or maintain weight.
