Food tracking is extremely popular today, with sites like my fitness pal and apps that make food logging as easy as taking a photo with your smartphone. I personally logged almost all of my meals for the first 15 years of my career as a bodybuilder, and so you might think I was a strong proponent for food tracking and keeping a food diary to lose weight. And I am not.

Yes, there are numerous studies that find that those who use food tracking apps for weight loss tend to lose more weight compared to those who do not log their meals, but as it is for all aspects of fitness, these studies aren't the final word in whether food tracking is best for you if you are trying to lose weight or get ready for a bodybuilding competition. And in this video I am going to talk about my real world experiences with food tracking apps and why I think that logging food in myfitnesspal may not be the best solution for everyone trying to achieve their fitness goals.
