<p>You just logged something. Good.</p> <p>One entry is more useful than you think, and here is why: it makes the number visible. Most people on a plan have never actually seen the number for what they just ate. They''ve estimated. They''ve rounded. They''ve skipped the awkward bits.</p> <p>Now you know the actual number for one actual thing you chose.</p> <p>Do that for a week and two things happen:</p> <ul> <li>You start to recognize the shape of your day without looking.</li> <li>You notice which foods are "expensive" for how they make you feel.</li> </ul> <p>That''s the whole job of logging. It is not a graded assignment. You log to see. Seeing makes the next choice a real choice instead of a default.</p>
