Since I have ADD, tracking ANYTHING is a huge challenge for me.  Not long ago, however, I found a small printable template that is making things a little easier.

It is basically a 3x5 card with check boxes for grains, protein, vegetables, fruits, dairy, fats/sweets, and water.  It marks off how many boxes you should check depending on if you are following a 1200, 1600, or 2000 calorie diet.  Each time you eat, you check off how many servings of each you have.

While I don't get a detailed breakdown, I do get a good sense of how balanced my eating habits are.  Also, since the cards fit into my pocket or my purse, they are always on hand to fill out, even if I have an impromptu snack while out and about.

Ideal? No.  Comprehensive? Certainly not.  But for an ADDer, it sure pulls me in the right direction for once :)
