Do you pay attention to what you eat today? Keeping a food diary will help you track your food habit and doubles your weight loss.
I am not being unhealthy today. I mean, the foods I take today is not include in my Vegetarian Diet plan because I haven't made groceries shopping yet. I have one cup of unsweetened soy milk, 1 small plate of Chinese fried noodle and boiled sweet potato for breakfast cum lunch today. Chinese fried noodle is about 350-450 calorie because noodles is a type of starch and starch has high calories and since its fried, there would be even more calories that come from oil. It is approximately 76 calories in 100g portion of boiled sweet potato. One cup of unsweetened, plain soy milk contains about 90 calories.
At this update, I have consume a total of 716 calorie. See, I'm a kind of person who doesn't like counting calories. But when I make a rough estimate like this, I realize that counting calories really helps me to control my food intake, ensuring me to not eat more calories than necessary. If you are not a pen-and-paper type of person, you can choose to effectively count calories with your smartphone. You can count calories without doing any calculation.
