Write Down What You Eat

If your energy is low and you just don't feel like yourself, keeping track of what you're eating could help. I don't mean obsessive calorie counting, but instead making sure your body is getting enough of the nutrients it needs. I want to start doing that more often. So.. this is what I ate today. Looking at it now, it looks like a lot! I went through the calorie counts and I'm at around 1945 cals for the day. I consider myself active so that's not so bad.
