Nutrition experts agree that keeping track of calories is a key characteristic of successful weight managers. “There is no doubt that self-monitoring is one of the most powerful proven aids for weight control. Research not only shows that individuals who maintain a food and exercise diary lose more weight, they also keep it off,” says Elizabeth Roark, MPH, RD. Also, the National Institutes of Health confirms that “Record keeping is one of the most successful behavioral techniques for weight loss and maintenance.”
