Tips

Be an observer. - After recording your food intake and hunger/fullness levels, what patterns do you notice? Try to be neutral and nonjudgmental; the goal is progress and awareness, not perfection.
Experiment. - Everyone’s body is unique. What works best for you? Try different combinations of food as well as varied meal and snack times. Does too much time between meals or snacks result in bigger portions for you? Are you hungrier when your protein or fat intake is low?
One meal at a time. - Is there a time during the day you tend to overeat? If it’s too hard to record the entire day, try tracking only your most challenging time period.
