Healthy Habits Learn how to track your eating habits How much food do you let go unaccounted for each day? Stealing nibbles from your child's plate, grabbing a small muffin from the office kitchen, or munching on nuts while you cook dinner may not seem like weight-loss deal breakers; however, all of those extra bites add up. In fact, most of us underestimate what we eat in a day. If you think that's not true for you, take this test: keep track of everything you eat (and how much), and then evaluate your records at the end of the day.
