If you have never used a mobile food diary before you may be a little intimidated by all of the options. Once you get the basics down though, it’s relatively easy to track your food and activity on a mobile device. Many applications include a barcode scanner so all you have to do is scan the barcode of a particular packaged food and everything you need is instantly uploaded. This can be a huge timesaver. You will also have the options of doing a quick search for different foods where you can select the most appropriate choice. In those cases it takes another step or two, but generally the calorie and nutrient content is quickly uploaded into your journal as well. What to do if the food you are looking for isn’t in the database? Well, a mobile food journal will generally give you the option of entering a food yourself using information from a label. If you are trying to calculate the calorie makeup from a recipe, you should be able to enter the ingredients into the application. From there the journal will calculate the calorie and nutrient content of a serving size that you select. This is a great feature because your favorite recipes can be stored, eliminating the need to constantly measure ingredients. A mobile food tracker is usually built to be used quickly and efficiently on the go. Most people have very busy lives, and that’s why mobile versions of journals were created. It’s a very useful tool for keeping on track, checking on your goals, and updating different activities and calorie intakes. A great mobile diary will be fast and responsive as well as user friendly, and include all of the features offered through the online site. It’s always easier to remember to input what you’re eating at the time you are eating it, because many of us will forget at the end of the day, especially when it comes to the little things!
