“Every person is different, so what my body needs will not be what your body needs.

I’m a moderately active, young woman, so my daily calorie allotment, vitamin/mineral needs, etc. will look completely different from say, a 45 year-old cross fit guy, or a 50 year-old accountant.

I’ve found that apps like My Fitness Pal are super helpful when it comes to tracking what I’m eating and how I’m moving. I have friends who are obsessed with pedometer apps, and others who stick to old fashioned food journalling.

Start with just being aware of what you put in your body and what physical activity you do during the week; that awareness will lead to making the changes you need to maintaining a healthier lifestyle.”
