Virtual Tour :: Tracking - Daily Foods

Dieting is a guessing game: if I eat 1200 calories per day, will I gain or lose weight? What if I'm going to all of that effort just to starve myself and reduce my metabolism? With MyFitnessTrainer.com, you'll never have to worry or wonder. Your calorie goal will be determined scientifically, using complicated formulas that track your changing metabolism. One week you might be better off eating 1,500 calories per day, but due to muscle growth next week could require 1,650. If you didn't track your changing metabolism, you could accidentally stunt your progress by starving that muscle! Also, if your calories need to be reduced to give you the maximum results, your program will let you know. On this page, just record your daily calorie and fiber intake. You can record your foods individually, using our nutrition database and saving your most often eaten foods. Or, if you prefer to track your calories and fiber on paper (maybe you're on-the-go and not near a computer during the day,) then you can do so. Just click the button on this screen to manually enter your calories and fiber totals at the end of the day.

All you need to do is track and record your daily calorie and fiber intake and try to reach your goals. If you don't reach your goal, it's important to enter your calorie intake accurately anyway- this is used for the formulas to determine your metabolism.

Within a week you'll find that tracking calories is not nearly as labor-intensive as you thought. Also, you may naturally tend toward the foods that are high-fiber and lower-calorie. This will fuel your metabolism!

Your calorie and fiber goals will be set to help you lose 2 pounds of fat per week, while either gaining or maintaining your muscle. Muscle maintenance is important, because muscle burns fat!
