You would think with the hot-ass weather this summer we would have eaten lighter. You know, fresh fruit, fish, that sort of thing. But, no, not us. We ate those hot dogs at the Cubs game, the red-white and blue cupcakes on 4th of July. Not to mention the sugar drenched martinis we pounded at that roof top party last weekend. Yep, we practiced some pretty terrible eating habits this summer. And with Fall and Winter sneaking up on us and all of the holidays right around the corner, it seems the worst is yet to come.

Not having resigned ourselves to defeat just yet we signed up for myfooddiary.com. Its not a diet (PLRG does not believe in diets), rather it’s a website that allows you to track what you are eating, how much you are exercising and overall nutrition and weight-loss progress. With nutritional data on over 55,000 foods it’s easy to choose the specific brands and restaurant items you eat. You can even track your calories throughout the day and myfooddiary.com’s reports will let you know how many calories you have remaining that day to either maintain your weight or to lose weight. Very motivating! Best of all, it only costs $9 a month, so it’s far cheaper way to manage your weight than some other “diets” out there.

Now, if we could just get the good folks at myfooddiary.com to come stock our fridges for us…
