I use www.livestrong.com, it helps me track what I'm eating via my iPhone so that it's virtually impossible for me to lose track of what I've eaten. Today, I did not do so well, I was way under on my calories and had some bad foods tossed in - this is reality, it happens. It's important to ingest the proper amount of calories, especially when you're working out (as I am 5 days a week, the 2 days off are spread out on Tuesday and Saturday). This needs improvement and with time it will get there.

Protein Shake (1 scoop of whey protein powder + H2O)

1/2 c. spinach
