Clever Fox Food Journal Pocket, Weight Loss Tracker, Turquoise

Right before Christmas, I received an email from Clever Fox Planner. I have purchased their planners in the past and loved them, and even though I don't use it anymore, I am still subscribed to their email list. This email introduced their new food tracker. They were having a BOGO sale: buy one planner from Amazon and they'd send you another one for free. (They did a similar promotion for their sticker book). Like many people, I am setting weight loss goals for the new year. My primary motivation behind it is my health and my longevity of life. Enter this food tracker. I spent some time last night setting it up. (Like many of my reviews that I write for brand new purchases, I will come back to edit them if anything changes or I discover something that will be helpful to others in deciding to make a purchase). Because this is such a new product for them, I wanted to give some insight to help future customers. The Clever Fox Food Journal is laid out much like their planners, including the same weight paper. (Don't expect any ghosting or bleeding on these pages; they won't. I use both Ink Joy and Flair pens in my planners & journals). MY STARTING POINT has fields for your name, weight and height as well as measurements and a beginning picture. I suppose you can choose to measure and keep track of whatever you choose, however they offer the following suggestions: neck, chest, bicep, waist, hips, thigh, and calf. For these measurements, there is a chart: "Where I am now" and "Target". In true Clever Fox fashion, at the bottom of the page, is a "Reward if Achieved" as well as a target date and a signature. Fancy! On the opposite page is a chance to document your why, how you will feel, and what steps you will take to achieve your goal. And then, the journal begins! It is an undated, daily 26 week journal. Each day, you track not only your breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks (as well as the time you eat them), but you can also track your weight, sleep, water, body fat%, caffeinated drinks (which they've weirdly abbreviated "caffein.") and fruits and vegetables. You can also track your mood for the day (designated by smiley faces), your energy, and your activity. You can also track if you're sugar free, gluten free, lactose free, alcohol free, and nicotine free (lots a tracking here, people! Lots of tracking!) As your tracking each food you eat (labeled "products"), you can also track serving size, calories, protein, fat, and carbs. At the very bottom of the page, you can tally every thing up "subtotal, total, vs target") I'm not sure what subtotal means, but I might use that field to put how much over or under on a macronutrient I was for the day. I'm not sure yet. The inside layout of the journal alternates from a muted dark teal to a muted forest green. I'm not sure why they chose that color, but it is easy on the eyes and calming. I like it. The journal comes with three pages of stickers. Some of the stickers are functional "calories burned", "___ g carbs" and some are motivational "No excuses, no complaints", "greatness takes time". The third sheet includes circle-style, minimalist stickers - "take medication", "track calories", "journal". I have to be honest - I was pretty stoked about the stickers (what Planner Babe doesn't like stickers, amiright?) But. There really isn't a lot of room to place them in the journal. I've placed some on the bottom near the totals. However, these stickers would be EXCELLENT in a planner to remind you to use the journal. (Clever Fox - please keep the stickers!) After the 26 weeks of daily pages, there is a measurement tracker where you can have a one-glance chart of your measurements including weight and body fat %. Opposite that is a page similar to the page at the beginning of the journal: the date, an after picture, final measurements, your target, whether the goal was achieved or not (check box) and a field to write how you can improve if you did NOT reach your goal. After that page is a 2-page spread of products for the five basic food groups (meats, dairy, grains, nuts, fruits & veggies) that you consume on a regular basis (your favorites, perhaps?) This would come in very handy if you were eating a real food and you didn't have a label to track serving size, calories, protein, fat, or carbs. It's also a great place to put some of your favorite foods. In the back of the journal are several grid dot pages (I count 31). This would be an excellent place to document how you're feeling about your journey. You could also use it for notes, shopping lists, those nifty stickers that don't quite fit in the daily grids... Pros: - fun colors with textured covered - layout helps achieve goals - daily tracking - "whole person" tracking (not just weight, but inches, mood, etc) - supports any diet/eating plan - 3 ribbon bookmarks - elastic strap to keep journal closed - elastic pen holder Cons: - no back pocket (I really love the back pocket in my Clever Fox planner so I can keep stickers with my planner. Since this journal combes with stickers, it would be nice to have a pocket to place them in. HOWEVER, since the journal stays closed well enough on it's own, I just use the elastic on the back, inside over to hold the stickers - problem solved!)

It is the perfect size to keep with me. It will make it easy to track my daily activities and no have to write them down or make notes in my phone, that I then forget to transfer to my tracking journal. Paper quality is awesome. The content gives several options for tracking at lot of aspects of journey to a better you.

This is a great little food planner/tracker. I wanted something compact to record my daily meals so I can go back for ideas and inspiration when I need it. I used to use a daily planner but tossed them and regretted doing that because it had some nice history. This is a very good quality booklet and the pages are thick and I’ve had no bleed through. I don’t have much use for the stickers but definitely using some of them! I will buy another when I am done with this one!

So far so good. The book is a hardcover and sturdy. You should be able to take it anywhere and able to put it into your tote/briefcase etc. without worrying about damage or page curling. The elastic band will keep it closed. I like the fact that it is not predated allowing flexibility. Like any new habit it is taking some getting used to logging everything but it is easy to use. I appreciate that there is a place for the time of the meals. Even the snack section has a place for the time. For me I snack throughout the day; I put the time before the name of the food. I am not a rah rah gold star sticker kind of person but if you are there are plenty of to stickers get you started. Update: I liked this enough to order a new one when the previous one was filled. The only negative for me is the lines are a little too light requiring the book to be in really good lighting to see them well.

This journal was just what I was looking for. I love the page layout for recording food, exercise, water, weight etc. There's lots of room for recording my food, calories, protein and more. I especially love the page ribbons, they help me find my place right away. In the back of the book is room for keeping track of foods I usually eat and their information like calories. Many pages in the back for making notes and so on. It comes in many colors which is really fun. Nice size, not too big or small, easy to carry with me while traveling. I hope to fill this journal and buy another : )

I have always prefered having a physical food journal rather than an app on my phone. I've tried other food journals, but Clever Fox really does it the best. I track my calories and do a weekly weigh in. This journal helps me see what I eat during the week, and how it plays out on the scale. I am able to modify my diet that way. It also tracks many other food needs that others would better utilize, like proteins, fats, and carbs. The pages are set up in an appealing way, and I like at the beginning it lets you write about your goals. The back of the book lets you put food details, so I don't have to work out calories every time I cook, for example, a turkey meatloaf. It comes with cute stickers that you can display throughout journaling. If you're looking for a food journal, don't look any further. This is the one to purchase

So I'm a Clever Fox fan. I have had multiple different versions of their various different journals (ie planner, budget tracker, etc) so I decided to try this one out since my favorite food tracking planner by Kunista Co was out of stock. Though I really enjoy the other Clever Fox products, this one really didn't do it for me. PRO: Like all Clever Fox products, the journal is extremely well made. The pages are thick and there is no bleed through. The cover is super cute and reminds me of the Scribbles that Matter design and I love the many different color choices. There are a lot of pages and you can ideally use this one journal for six months of food logging and tracking. The included stickers are a nice inclusion and I like the pocket in the back of the book. CONs: I absolutely hate the design. Its very busy and gets confusing. Also, there is only a starting point and an ending point page. Six months is a long time and I feel like they need to break down the goals and have multiple check in pages to break it up (like a monthly check in tracker or even one at the 3 month half way mark). The daily tracking pages just become a thick wall of tracking pages and I hate that. Overall, due to the design and lack of multiple long term and short term goal tracking pages, I was not compelled at all to track anything in the book which defeats the purpose. This set up might work for some but it didnt work for me. I much prefer the spiral bound, 3 month Kunista Co Food and Wellness Journal.

This is a great tool to help me keep track & organized w/my food intake. This book was 💰well spent & completely satisfied w/my purchase. The only problem I have is the writing space which is on me, bc I write big! It serves its purpose!

Love this journal! Has everything I need to track my food habits, set goals and track progress. Love that it includes three page savers, stickers and a spot for my pen. Highly recommend!

Ich war anfangs eher abgeneigt aufgrund des Preises, aber was soll ich sagen: er ist super süss. Er ist auch echt dick mit vielen Seiten, sodass sich der Preis wirklich lohnt. Es sind auch viele Sticker dabei, sowie eine Gewichtstabelle und zum Start und Ende des essenstagebuches Motivationsfragen, wie warum will ich abnehmen, was wird besser sein, wenn ich es geschafft habe etc. Durch den Planner in physischer Form zum reinschreiben erhoffe ich mir ein besseres längeres kontrolliertes Führen der Kalorien ...heutzutage ist alles digital und die Apps kosten meist 25 Euro im Jahr. Den Planner werde ich auf jedenfalls nachkaufen, da er super strukturiert und durchdacht ist.bin sehr zufrieden

I received the Food Journal on time and in mint condition. Noticeably it had a comprehensive page layout and unusually 3 page-holder ribbons integral in the binding. The planner enables an individual to record pertinent details at the commencement of a weight loss program and record result comparisons up to 6 months down the line. With a day to a page, comprehensive details can be recorded of all meals and a breakdown of Calories, Fat, Carbs, Fiber and Protein. A separate section at the back enables recording of a Product List to record all favourite food types. Several blank pages are also set in the back of the journal which can be used for a myriad of other uses. The pages are covered in feint grid dots to enable line or box marking as required. A 26 week measurement tracker is included on one page at the back of the journal. A double sided single separate page is included to give advice on utilisation of the planner and also details on measurement tracking. On the inside back cover is a paper wallet containing 3 pages of motivational stickers to do with as you wish.....an interesting touch. There is also a warranty card offering a ‘no hassle refund’ upto 60 days after purchase, but I cannot understand who would not find this luxuriously bound Food Journal of immense value when commencing a weight loss program. Clever Fox have produced a winner with this Food Journal; motivational guides are present throughout the journal and the quality and attention to detail make this journal a item of pride to own and use.
