Evidence-Based Development of a Mobile Telephone Food Record
Most of us have cell phone and most have or are leaning towards a cell with internet access. Using a cell is a great way to be able to keep track of your nutrition intake because you have it with you all the time. I did a quick google search and there are a lot of nutrition tracking apps out there. Online training software, such as training peaks, even allow you up upload the information to your workout log. A great way to keep eveything in one place for you to track, your coach/trainer or nutritionist to look at.
If you’re thinking of making nutrition tracking your new year’s resolution what better way than with your web access phone.

Those nitrates, used in preserving food, aren’t all that bad for you after all. Even those in your drinking water. Did you know that your veggies, some more than others, are high in nitrates/nitrites. Ever heard of nitroglycerin used for angina? Well, this is one reason why veggees are good for the heart. Nitrates. Pass me a hot dog with some beetroot on the side, please.

Interesting article. Basically saying to eat no more than 30 grams of protein, 4 oz, a day. The rest isn’t used. Also, consume the majority during breakfast to use during the day. I’ve been a firm believer of this for years, on a personal basis. Breakfast = the most important meal of the day.
Moderate Amounts Of Protein Per Meal Found Best For Building Muscle.
