Daily Nutrition Journal
MyFitnessJournal provides the easiest food tracking features on the web.
As soon as you view your food journal you will see a detailed listing of all the foods you
have eaten for the day. All of your foods are organized by meals such as
breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks, and additional foods.
For each meal you get to see the total calories, protein, fat, and carboydrates.
Spreading your meals out during the day has been shown to be a much better way
to manage caloric intake. So it can be important to even track the time of the day
that the foods were eaten. Your nutrition journal also allows you to record the exact
time of day you ate your meals.
Keeping track of your foods is a key part of succeeding with any fitness plan
View your daily nutrient totals
At the bottom of your journal you will see a detailed daily totals list
showing all of the nutrients that you consumed during the course of the day.
You also can easily compare your nutrient intake with the recommended daily
values for each nutrient.
Some useful nutrient charts are also displayed alongside your nutrition journal
entries for the given day. These provide the total percentage of calories that are coming
from fat, carbohydrates, and protein.
We even provide you with a simple graph of your calorie intake as it changes during
the day. This can help you see what times of the day you are eating the bulk
of your calories.
Examine Nutrition Facts
Examining the nutrition facts of various foods is also an important part of
monitoring your diet. From your nutrition journal each food in your listing can
be clicked to view additional nutrition facts about the food.
You can even change the servings and serving size information to see how
various nutrient levels increase or decrease
depending on your portion sizes.
If you are interested in finding out nutrition facts for other foods that you haven't
added to your journal you can simply use are easy food search tool to browse over
8000 foods and view nutrition facts for all of them. Many nutrition facts for
popular fast food restaurants are also in the database so you can quickly
view them before making a descision on take-out.
Simple, Painless Food Entry

food and select the best match from the list.

This applies directly to fitness goals. You will get the most
out of your membership by logging on and tracking your foods every day.
