Per my friend Dom’s recommendation, I recently downloaded the My Fitness Pal app so that Kevin and I could keep track of what we were eating for a week. We’ve come up with a challenge as to who could eat healthier ie) stay more aligned with our goals whether it be weight gain or weight loss and whoever can maintain it – wins!

I’m on day one of using the app and I’m already amazed by how large their food catalog is. They literally have everything including my usual Tall White Mocha from Starbucks. This is the first time that I’m ever counting calories, but I’m finding it to be useful with it’s progress charts and seamless user-friendly actions. Not only is it informative and educational, but it’s enlightening to know what I’m putting into my body and also what I could probably do without. Something that I have been trying to work towards is drinking more water throughout the day to stay hydrated and keep my energy up and while yes, it might seem tedious to track everything you eat and drink, in the long run it’s going to help me to organize my life and my diet.

Do any of you use My Fitness Pal? Have you ever counted your calories and how did it make you feel?
