Around this time of year there have been a handful of recent articles touting the benefits of keeping a food journal. Take this article from the Toronto Star, for example:

It refers to a number of studies that have looked at the benefits of calorie counting as a means to losing weight. Although some people may think that keeping track of what you eat in this way is tedious, it almost goes without saying that it is a crucial part of any weight loss regime.

The great thing about keeping a food journal is its simplicity. By seeing what you are eating, when you are eating it and, most importantly how much of it you are eating, the prognosis is stark and there for you to see in all its glory. There is no hiding from a graph that tells you that you’ve eaten 1,000 more calories a day than you should, or from a chart telling that you’re a month off track for achieving your goal weight before your beach holiday.

That is where the benefits of using Quickka Calories Pro become obvious. For less than a pound (that is, of Sterling, not flab!) you can download a program which offers you a quick, simple and fun way to keep a daily log of what you’re eating for a fraction of the price of a conventional food journal. Not only can you keep track of your nutritional intake (with the handy ability to scan in the barcode of common branded products), but you can also keep track of how much you exercise and how much progress you are making towards achieving your weight loss goals. And because the App is on your iPhone, you can use it anywhere, anytime. Keeping track of what you eat while on the go has never been easier.

It’s no wonder that food journals are making such a splash on the dieting scene. Afterall, knowledge is power, and staying on top of exactly how much you are eating (versus how much you should be eating) is key to any successful weight loss regime. You can, of course, stick to using a good old pen and pad of glossy paper (ummm), but with a shiny iPhone at your disposal, an interactive, fully functional App, and cool graphics to boot, it’s time to get into the 21st century and let Quickka Calories Pro help you fight the battle of the bulge.
