What I’m about to talk about is very simple, and I know you’ve heard of it before, but chances are you’re not applying it as part of your routine.

It is keeping a journal…

Now just to set the record straight, keeping a journal is not just something for giggling schoolgirls to do in their spare time. But it is one of the best tools you have available for tracking your nutrition and finding out where you can make improvements to move yourself closer towards your fitness goals.

Your nutrition journal doesn’t have to be anything fancy or complicated, just a simple notebook will do. All you need to do is each day write down what you eat and when you eat it. You can also keep track of other things like your bodyweight, bodyfat percentage, etc.

Keeping a journal gives you the data you need to figure out if you’re eating too much, or too little, eating the right foods, or the wrong foods. You can track patterns in your eating that you might not otherwise notice.

I recently read a study that showed on average, overweight people forgot approx. 50% of what they ate over the past 24 hours. They either forgot it entirely or they underestimated how much food they ate.

And I’ve also seen the opposite happen with underweight people who are struggling to gain muscular bodyweight, they often ‘underestimate’ how much they are eating and then wonder why they can’t gain weight.

By simply monitoring your food intake with a nutrition journal you’ll have more control over your results then people who try to “wing it” with their eating.

For the first week of keeping a nutrition journal I don’t want you to change a thing with your eating routine, just write down what you eat and when you eat it. But try to be as specific as possible…

For example, don’t just write down for breakfast at 7:00 am I ate “cereal and toast”. Write down what kind of cereal, how much, how many slices of toast, what you had on it, etc. and simply do this for each of your meals.

I realize that this will take some effort and it is a bit of a nuisance, but in order to develop a lean muscular physique you are going to have to keep accurate records of your nutrition. Guessing is not good enough.

After doing this for a full week, simply review your nutrition journal and ask yourself:

“Where Can I Improve My Eating To Move Closer Towards My Fitness Goals?”

It could be something as obvious as:

“I shouldn’t have eaten that double cheese burger, with large fries, and a DQ Blizzard for lunch yesterday.”

Or it could be something less obvious like:

“I need to eat more quality protein with my breakfast.”

When you keep an accurate journal of your eating like this it becomes a lot easier to pin point places where you are making mistakes and where you can improve. Just being conscious of what you are eating will automatically cause you to make better food choices.

The key with your eating is to just focus on making improvements. Don’t try to be perfect. But do get in the habit of recording your food intake, and then each week review your journal and pick 1 or 2 areas that you are going to focus on over the next week.

Stick with this week after week, and before you know it following a high quality nutrition plan that moves you closer to your physique goals will become automatic, it will just be part of your normal eating pattern.

Here are some things that are required if you want to know how to make night vision goggles. The image intensifier tube was the invention, which made the invention of night vision devices, including goggles possible. The image intensifier is a tube that is able to convert photons in to electrons and is able to amplify even minute quantities of light making it possible to see in the darkness.

The mechanism of the tube is that when the light enters the objective lens, it strikes a photo cathode, which also carries an energy charge. This charge travels through the intensifier to convert photons into electrons and then strikes a phosphor screen on which the image gets illuminated. It is the function of the ocular lenses on the goggles to help in focusing on the images.

There is another type of night vision googles too, which uses thermal imaging to make night vision possible. This kind of night vision goggles use the heat of electro-magnetic radiation, which is emitted by most objects, be they living or non-living. Because of this, thermal imaging night vision goggles are able to use these heat signatures in order to display an image of the object.

These night vision devices win over the light intensifier night vision goggles because of the fact that they require no light at all to be made active and can therefore be used in places where there is no light such as in hazes and fogs.

Now that you know about the elements that go into night vision goggles, you can try and see how to make night vision goggles of your own!
