Good article! I agree it can be a real pain tracking your food, but it did help me realize my eating habits and what I thought were average portion sizes were way off. I eat a more balanced diet now without having to track.

If I use nutrition labels for calorie tracking, is there a certain format of food journal that you recommend? Would an excel sheet work? Are there apps that you make food journaling easier?

MyFitnessPal is the most popular. There is also the “see how you eat” app, but I haven’t personally used it. However, google photo albums and excel sheets can work just fine!
