It happens to us all- we get caught up in the festivities, music, laughter, conversation and hustle and lose track of what we’ve eaten, how much and how we really feel. Eating mindfully during the holiday season can feel frustrating and on some days, even impossible, especially when our typical schedules are interrupted with more and more to-dos.
Food tracker apps are on everyone’s smart device. MyFitnessPal Calorie Counter has over 50 million downloads! The USDA SuperTracker has over 27 million users. LoseIt, SparkPeople, FatSecret- there are dozens of food diary apps that allow you to record what and when you are eating. The question isn’t ‘Are you using one?’ but ‘Which one are you using?’ And maybe more importantly, are these tools really useful?
