Patterns such as under-eating, skipping meals, grazing throughout the day, and making chronic poor choices around certain people will sabotage your weight loss. The keys to accurate food logs are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Consistency<\/strong>: you must learn the habit of logging your food and beverage intake every day. If you had burgers, fries, and beer on Friday and Saturday they need to be logged. Aiming for the same amount of calories everyday is imperative.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Honesty:<\/strong> If you ate six gingerbread men, 2 cups of eggnog, and prime rib-not logging them doesn&#8217;t mean the calories weren&#8217;t ingested.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Accuracy<\/strong>: I often see dinner entries of: 4 oz chicken breast, 2 cups broccoli, 3\/4 cup brown rice. While this is a nutritious meal of 424 calories it&#8217;s inaccurate. Add two teaspoons of olive oil the chicken was cooked in and a splash of balsamic vinegar to season the broccoli and the dinner is 524 calories. For processed foods remember that calories can vary a great deal depending on the brand.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_544\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/doubleeaglefitness.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/12\/12-1125.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-544\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-544\" title=\"12-1125\" src=\"http:\/\/doubleeaglefitness.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/12\/12-1125.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"264\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-544\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Skin fold calipers to measure body fat percentage<\/p><\/div>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Portions: <\/strong>When you are getting the hang of food logging, you must weigh and measure portions for accuracy before eyeballing will work for you rather than against you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Learning Curve: <\/strong>Food logging will teach you precious information about your eating patterns.
