Keeping Track

Hello Everyone,

      I am getting closer to surgery and I thought before I make one myself, I would ask and see if anyone has made like a sheet that they use to track their daily intake of food, water, exercise and etc.? My doctor says it is best to keep track of everything for reference. Also, I am getting my vitamins together, and wanted to know if their was a set time frame that is best to take them and if you prefer a brand over the other. I will be taking a multivitamin, calcium citrate with vitamin D3, and B12.

                                                                                          Thanks,

I use the app My Fitness Pal to track daily intake and exercise.

 

I also use MFP to track food and exercise.

I take my multis and my D3 when I wake up and when I go to sleep.  I take my B12 at bedtime (I was getting too hungry during the day when I was doing it in the morning), and I take my calcium starting when I get to work and then at lunch and then before I head home for the day.

Thanks so much for the info :)

 

I'm not too good with technology so I just use a journal and pen. Whatever works I guess!

 

I used an excel spreadsheet for the first few months and just checked things off as the day went on. After a while it will become second nature. It was my security blanket at first. It was a bit overwhelming at first. Now I use MFP. On the spreadsheet I layed out my day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner, vitamins at 9, 12 and 3, grams of protein and water intake.

Great! Thanks :)
