Food Journal for Weight Watchers Points or Calories

104 Shares

When I am trying to lose weight or make healthy changes to my diet (so, basically always), the hardest challenge is my food intake. I have to keep track of what I eat, and I need to plan out my meals.

There are lots of apps for this, and I’ve tried several of them. Many of them are very, very good! But at the end of the day, using an app to track my food just gives me one more reason to be tied to my phone. And also? I just like to write things down. I feel more connected to what I am doing when I put it down on paper.

So for years, I’ve just kept a little notebook and used a system to track my calories (or Weight Watchers points, if that’s what I was doing). When I started the 21 Day Fix, I came up with something similar (you can see those here).

I finally got around to turning my makeshift Food Journal into a REAL Food Journal, and I am so excited to share them with you!

These books are 5×7, printed on nice paper, and laminated with a super sturdy laminate. There are two pages dedicated to weight tracking, with plenty of lines if you’re tracking several times a week.

There are 62 pages for tracking your daily food intake, so you’ll get two months use out of each book.

This is how you might use if it you were counting calories.

And here’s an example of how you could use as a Weight Watchers journal (it’s been a few months since I’ve done Weight Watchers, so please ignore the points values – I doubt they are correct!).

These are small enough to fit in your purse, but big enough to comfortably write in (and in my experience, it’s waaaaay more fun to keep track of your food, or to meal plan, when you have cute tools to work with!).
