Tracking your daily food and exercise is a great idea if you are trying to lose weight. A large study recently showed that keeping a food journal can double your weight loss.
Some of the more popular sites they use include fitday.com and thedailyplate.com, which are free, and myfooddiary.com and Weight Watchers online journals, each of which charge a fee. Many of my patients have iPhones and love the iPhone application called 'Lose it.' If you eat out often, be sure that any site that you use has a large database of restaurant choices so you can accurately assess daily caloric intake. If you want to figure out how many calories you are burning daily through exercise and lifestyle activities, one of my favorite sites is http://www.caloriesperhour.com/.
