Steps on how to create your own food and dessert chart for the week!

Losing weight becomes an easy process if you keep up with your constant workouts and eating healthy, but in order to keep up with your amazing progress here are some steps to keep in mind when creating a food and dessert chart for the week.

1. Have a notebook, paper, or planner near your mirror with a log of the foods you ate
In order to keep track of all the food you ate in a day you need to write it down on a notebook, piece of paper, or a planner. This helps you see what foods you need to eat more often and etc.

2. Have a column sectioned off for dates in the week
On your paper make sure that you have a section with dates listed for that specific week. It should begin on Monday and should last until Sunday. If you don't have dates listed on your paper, then you will get confused on which foods you ate in one day.

3. Have a column sectioned off for the foods you eat (the main foods)
On your paper make sure that you not only have a section that includes the dates during the week, but also the main dishes you ate on a certain day. In this column if you ate a sandwich you should write down which type you ate, along with the vegetables that were on it, and etc. You follow the same method for the other main foods you eat as well.

3. Have a column sectioned off for the amount of foods you eat (portions)

Next to the food column, you need to have a section dedicated to the amount of a specific food that you ate (portion amount) during one meal. If you ate one sandwich, then write that down. If you had two spoonfuls of vegetables then write that down, and etc. This helps you also keep track of the calories you consumed.

4. Last but not least have your dessert section
For all the hard work that you put in for the week, it is only right that you treat yourself to a dessert. In the dessert section you can label which dessert you had for the week and by doing this you can see which ones you would like to try during the next week and etc.
