Well, it's not really a toy as much as a personal guilt device.... buttt it's reallly neat!
So, I am always trying to find new and better ways to keep track of things. I find that people who make lists, and stay organized, often reach their goals sooner rather than later. So, here is my latest list craze.
It's a calorie counter on steroids. So just to give you an idea, I thought I had a relatively healthy day. If I don't go to the gym, or do any major physical activity, I should be in taking roughly 1,800 calories a day. With this calorie counter I changed my intake to 1,600 so I could lose roughly a pound a week.
I wrote down EVERYTHING I put into my mouth today. The red font is bad. I basically went over on everything except fat. and my sugar intake (on what I thought was a healthy day) was 300 %!!!
But on a good note, I had almost 200% of my daily fiber as well as 250% of my daily protein. It's crazy how quickly these numbers add up. The other neat thing about this is, a lot of specific food nutrition labels and servings are already saved on their server. I don't have to do much, just type in cliff bar and 20 different kinds pop up. I pick which one I had and how many servings it was, then presto..... instant update.
I actually found myself making healthier choices today because I didn't want to mess up my numbers, it almost became a mental game and test of will. Without the recording phase I would have easily snuck a piece of chocolate during a work break. BUT I prevailed!! Well for today at least, but I must keep forging ahead, we shall see what tomorrow will bring. Night.0_o
