FOOD DIARY / JOURNAL IS LIVE!!!

[Ranaesheart]

MedHelp has released the NEW FOOD JOURNAL .. and there are several very easy ways to implement it.  

1.  At the top of each page ..  Your MyHome Page, Profile, PHR, and each Community, there is a yellow announcement showing "Try our latest tracker, the new Food Diary!"  Click on "Food Diary" and it will take you right there!

2.  From your MyHome Page, on the left side you will find "Manage My Health" that looks like a little notebook.  You can add meals and notes to your food journal quickly or, if you've not already created your personal statistics, it will take you to the "create page" to do so.

3.  You can go to the tracker section shown on your personal page and click on "Add a Tracker" at the bottom.  This will allow you to see all the wonderful trackers/tools MedHelp has developed for our success!  The food diary has the little green apple.

Let's ALL get to using this marvelous tool together!  This is an Awesome opportunity to gain some knowledge and make some headway!

I am so grateful for this tracker.  It's a little hard to use because of the limited food selection options, but I imagine as more users add things this will be less of a problem.  

I'm wondering though, where should I get advice on mine?  My average calorie intake seems really high to me (5'6" 187lbs, size 10-12) even though I try very hard not to overeat.  I eat lots of good things, too.  There are a couple starchy things, but everything else is protein, veggies, and fruit... I think.  That's what I'm trying anyway.  So, I'd like to figure out how I can cut down on calories and/or what I'm doing wrong.  Shouldn't I only be eating around 1200 per day?

Thanks!!

I signed up for it earlier this morning, but had a problem when I added a food that wasn't listed - it locked up on me, so I'll have to go in later and see if I did something wrong.  I'm excited to get it up and running - will be so much easier than flipping to another web site which I don't have time for, but I'm on mh EVERY day at least once and most often several times/day.  I'm anxious to get it going.
