Daily Diet 08-30-12

Real world menu choices for real people trying to be calorie conscious throughout their day.

Tips for using the Daily Diet effectively:

• Have a calorie goal for the day (and every day.)
• Keep a food journal so you know what you ate (and how many calories.)
• If you're eating at a different restaurant from what's featured here, do the best with what's available. Look for a similar entre, or read the nutrition guide and order something which fits within your calorie budget.
• Keep in mind - every pound of fat in your body is 3,500 calories worth of energy, just waiting to be released and burned. If you're still a little hungry throughout the day, that's great - it means your body might just be tapping into that excess reserve.
• Check out the Daily Diet page for more details, information, examples, and links.
