Yesterday I had an idea to start making meal cards. I got me a recipe box and
some index cards. I'm going to start writing down my meals with portion size,
of everything that I had for that meal. And that why when I have that same
meal again I can just look at the card and know how many points or calories
it was. I have a tendency to eat the same foods with each other. I usually
like rice with baked chicken, bake potatoe with a steak, and bran cereal with
banana and Oj is my favorite breakfast. So anyway I'm going to try this and
see if makes my counting points a little less time consuming. I also have my
few restraunts that we like so I'll make some cards for them and that I'll
know what I'm going to eat when I get there maybe that will make other things
less tempting. Most of them has the nutrients facts on their web site if
their a chain. Applebees and garfield's offer a lot of choses for WW.

Does anyone else have any ideas to make watching our diets any easier or
better?

Sounds like a good idea, Lori.

What, if any, software do you use to track your calories?  I use Fitday and
it has the option of combining foods into a mal category.  I've used it to
combine my oatmeal, protein powder and flax seed into a breakfast meal.
I've also used it to combine the meat and veggies I normally order at a
restaurant.  If you use software you might look to see if it has such an
option.
