Why It’s Important To Track Your Food

We tend to underestimate what we eat, for example:

Sally is at risk for type 2 diabetes. She wants to lose 15 pounds. She has been trying to eat better each week. After a month, Sally tells her friend Tina that she is frustrated. She still hasn’t lost any weight. Surprised by this, Tina asks her to describe what she ate the day before. Sally tells Tina what she thinks she had.

The table below shows what Sally thinks she had vs what Sally really had at each meal and the extra calories she took in without being aware.
