Self-monitoring is an important aspect of long-term weight management and can help you stay on top of your health goals. More specifically, keeping a food journal can help you more effectively meal plan, increase your calorie awareness, ensure you are getting adequate nutrition, and better navigate weight loss plateaus as well as weight maintenance. In this session we will look at different strategies to self-monitor your food intake through food journaling, explore some apps that you can use to accomplish this, and discuss how to better utilize this tool as valuable feedback that can help you optimize your progress with your nutrition and weight management.
