After you write things down you have two options. You can either try to figure out your calories manually or you can let your computer do it for you. Personally I think I have enough on my plate already. I’d rather let someone else work all the calculations. There are online sites that will calculate your calories and keep track of what you eat day by day. MyFoodDiary.com or MyFitnessPal.com are good sites for that. There are also many computer programs you can buy to do the same thing—just make sure it comes with a large food database that you can update online.
