Many people find using a food diary very helpful while they are trying to lose or control their weight. By using a food diary, you can easily track the foods you consume and it also makes you solely responsible for the foods you eat throughout the day. By writing down your food intake along with the calories and fat consumed, you can easily pinpoint where you may be having trouble with excess calories. (e.g., do you always get the midnight munchies or have an afternoon snack attack - both of which can add extra calories you really don't need?)
