There are plenty of different tools available to monitor your nutrition. Nutrition calculators can be helpful to understand your individual energy needs, and the how much of each macronutrient you should be aiming to consume.

Once you understand your energy needs, food diaries or nutrition trackers can allow you to monitor your energy intake, macronutrients, and micronutrients. These can be particularly helpful in a portable format, so try searching ‘food diary’ or ‘nutrition tracker’ in the app store on your mobile phone, and experiment with different apps to see what works best for you.

While these tools can be a great start, consult a healthcare professional if you have any concerns or need further support in meeting your nutrient requirements – your general practitioner or a dietitian can be great places to start. You can find a dietitian in your local area here.
