Perfect For Food-Charts To Help In Making Food-Choices, Also For Food Journalling
This turned out to be brilliant.Food-journalling never works for me, because it makes me obsess over food in a way that I won’t if I simply fast. That said, food-choice-charts really help me when I’m trying to figure out what to eat or drink, and these are brilliant for that purpose.These are laid out very well, have good options for the columns, vary the colors in the vertical rows to make it easier to identify what column you’re reading, and have enough space to write without running out of space. The spiral binding is unbent and seems sturdy, the pages are thick enough to prevent bleed-through when writing on the backside which is also printed, and the layout is easily memorized to increase how fast you can fill this in while running around all day.Beyond this, as I said above, this can be used for food-charts, not only for food-journaling, and you can select which columns you track on your foods to allow for greater ease of picking foods at a glance if you use this for food-charts. I made a food-chart on day-one and I was stunned to see all my beverage choices laid out like that, all in a column of ascending calorie counts, with some really threatening calorie counts mixed in there at the end of the page. I discovered that my decaf and some favorite teas have only 45 calories per 24 ounces with my low-calorie and healthy-fat creamer while my low-calorie/fat-free cocoa has a whopping 85 calories per 24 ounces and sometimes 90, the way I pour the soymilk. Of course, my fruit teas and my version of juice, where I use 2 tablespoons of juice in water with some stevia or where I use fruit-based tea with stevia, all have only 20 calories per 24 ounces, but I was stunned to realize the huge difference between one version of decaf and another and then the coffee alternative versus the low-fat/low-carb/low-calorie cocoa, which made a huge difference in my daily routine. I was also shocked to realize that a low-carb product I use when craving chocolate actually has 11 net carbs, not the 7 that I had previously misread on the packaging. So just filling this out for one food-choice-chart made a difference in my daily routine but also in how I think about those beverage choices and other low-carb choices.And then, beyond just noticing things about my choices I hadn’t previously notices, I posted that chart and did better each day since I filled it out and began looking at it whenever I choose a beverage from my list, because I began to start to finally memorize those calorie counts by looking at them repeatedly. In other words, this already paid for itself (or the taxes I pay on it) by giving me valuable data about my diet and by giving me a visible reminder on my kitchen wall which tells me what my best teas are and what my best options are for other drinks throughout the day, beyond water. Next up is a food-chart for common snack items for when I just can’t do a full fast for the evening, and it looks like an apple or small amount of blueberries or strawberries wins, followed by oatmeal if I don’t feel like fruit.This is really a golden option, among many, and it’s basically a perfect tool for dietary management. I highly recommend this, and I give it five well-earned stars.

Quick and easy to use, made well, and a good price
I bought these because I forget to add what I eat in an app on my phone. The notepads are well made with a plastic cover and a hard back so you don’t need a table to write on. The paper could be thicker because you write on both sides. Don’t use a gel pen and you should be okay. I like that the sheets are color coded so you can quickly see what you are eating when. The first step to habit change is recognizing what you are doing wrong and these notepads definitely help with that. When you see what you are doing and how it is affecting you, you can experiment and find foods that better suit what you are trying to do. The pads also have a place to track weight, amount of exercise, quantity of water consumed, as well as a notes section at the bottom to record mood or reactions. I find these pads easier and quicker to use than the apps where you have to scroll to find your food item in a list of dozens or more entries that have differing numbers or enter your own foods (which leads to more scrolling). The nutrition info is on the package and the note pages can be torn out and attached to the fridge with a magnet. A good price and when you’re done, just drop them in the recycling because no name isn’t attached to them and privacy remains intact.
