I urge you to. . .

. . .use MyFitnessPal.  I've been using it, logging my food and exercise in a diary for just a few days and can already see I am a bit too fond of bacon and egg sandwiches for breakfast, and snack too often on peanut butter, cashews, digestive biscuits and chocolate in it's various forms and disguises (Snickers etc. are mostly salt, sugar and vegetable fat whereas Green and Blacks 85% is real chocolate).  Consuming these high calorie products mean my daily recommended calorie limit is being reached before my body's nutrient needs have been satisfied.  This increases the likelihood of late night snacking before bed.  Additionally, any weight loss from exercise is being cancelled out.  Now I'm not saying you should never eat these things - just have them occasionally as a treat and not every day as part of your staple diet.

Another spoon of peanut butter before bed anyone?
