See, food providers figured out that the cost of food service is in the SERVICE, not in the FOOD--but that customers think it's exactly the opposite. So you double the price and double the portion size, the customer thinks that it's the same "value" (twice as much for twice as much, right?) and your profit goes through the roof.

That probably doesn't sound toooo bad, but one of the sessions was a weights session, followed by 30 min fast paced walk and 30 mins on stationary bike and 15min skipping. I honestly thought I was eating too much that was why I wasn't losing any weight, but it was actually the opposite.

Food journaling is definitely what has helped me the most. You just don't remember everything and you're right - sooner or later, you're like - oh yeah, I forgot about Starbucks or oh yeah, I had that muffin. And other days I forget to eat and it helps to see - oops. I really can't skip meals like that. Thanks! This is a great article! Food journaling is definitely what has helped me the most.

According to nutritiondata.com, my baseline daily caloric requirement is 2700 calories (which I think is a bit low, because it does not take into account the relatively high amount of lean muscle mass I carry), and I consume around 3300 calories a day. This must be around what I actually need, because my weight has not changed in a decade. I eat pretty clean, almost no junk food (a little bit of dark chocolate and a glass of wine per day ;)), and most meals were cooked from raw ingredients. If I started throwing in Starbucks mocha lattes and daily trips to Subway, my calorie intake would go through the roof and I would probably start gaining weight and not understand why. I see how easy it is to overeat and not realize it. Everyone says it, but you don't realize how important it is until you actually do it: you have to track your calories.
