Definition of Health per the WHO: a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease

You can track your food, weight, period cycle, and sleep
You're not suddenly going to increase to 12 servings of veggies and a dramatic increase in exercise
Your goals for nutrition may change if your overall goals (weight loss, maintenance, muscle building)
