It's already been established that keeping a food diary is essential to losing and maintaining weight. I usually start with a brand new empty journal, but if you use tweetwhatyoueat.com, all you need is a twitter account (and a computer, of course).When you start your food diary at tweetwhatyoueat, it will make itself one of your twitter friends. Then simply direct message (d twye) your foods as you eat them throughout the day, and your food diary will keep track of all your foods and how many total calories you've eaten for the day. (This information all remains private.) You can read and edit your food journal at the tweetwhatyoueat site.
tweetwhatyouit is smart, too. It helps you keep track of weigh ins. If you don't know the calories of what you've eaten, tweetwhatyoueat will find them for you. If you need to be reminded to update your food journal, tweetwhatyoueat will remind you through twitter. If you eat a certain food over and over, after the first time you post the calories, tweetwhatyoueat will remember them.
Give it a try. If you're like me and never far away from your computer or phone, it may be more convenient than paper journaling. tweetwhatyoueat is taking away all of our excuses not to journal, and that's a good thing!
