Keep a visual food journal with an app like Meal Logger. Take a photo of your food and enter in serving sizes of everything on your plate to help keep tabs on what you eat each day. The Hidrate Spark is a water bottle with a sensor that automatically measure your H20 intake.

This app converts alcohol intake into standard measures of alcohol to let you know calorie intake and when you may be over the limit. In San Francisco, I'm Lexy Savvides, cnet.com for CBS news.
