While it is important to know how many calories you consume in a day, it is more important to see where the calories are coming from. The calories in two chocolate chip cookies are about the same as the calories in an apple but of course it would be better to eat the apple. So while journaling is a useful tool and will help you reach your goals, you should journal the details of what you eat and not just the calorie intake.
Remember, to lose a pound a week you need to cut out or burn an extra 500 calories a day.
