Monitoring your calorie intake through portion control is key to losing weight. Keeping a food journal is one way to keep you accountable, but if you have a hard time remembering every bite, taste, and sip you've had, take pictures of everything you eat. Then, at the end of the day, just add them all up. And better yet, email your food journal or stats to a friend to help you stay honest.
