This week, I’ve decided to ease into eating healthier and planning out my meals. I achieve three things by doing this: I save money by not buying my lunch, I can portion out my meals, and it’s a lot easier to log my food intake.
Another thing I started doing is logging my food intake on my iPhone, which is easy for me since I always have it with me. I also stumbled upon this website called The Daily Plate. I just signed up, and from a quick glance I notice that you can log your food intake and see how many calories you consume each day. It’s pretty interesting to get a rough estimate on how many calories you consume.
The only thing negative thing I can say about this site is that it is somewhat slow. I also like how the site gives you alternatives to help you consume less calories. Calories aren’t everything, but it’s good to know other things, like carbs, sodium and other nutrition information.
After a logging your food intake for a week, or even a month, take a look back and see how you’ve been eating.
Want to see what I ate today and how many calories (roughly, of course) I consumed?

The last thing on that list, Pancit, is a Filipino dish which is noodles with vegetables, and some kind of protein (it varies). In this dish that I ate, there was shrimp. I was actually surprised it was in the database!
