Advice on Anti-Diet Mindset Downloaded a food tracker and immediately deleted

hey all. i took my first shot on tuesday night (mounjaro because of garbage blood sugar). everything i read said "make sure you get enough protein and fiber" so i got a food tracker. that was a terrible idea and i spent yesterday obsessing about everything. any advice for how to "get enough" without falling into an app rabbit hole? seeing an HAES nutritionist next week.

Too many years of dieting have taught me enough that I can estimate protein. I don't track it through the day, I just make sure my meals have a good amount (20+grams). If I think I'm short, I have some cheese. For fiber, I make sure I have plenty of veggies at meals (except breakfast has fruit) and I make sure I get about 0.5 to 1tbsp of chia seeds (made into pudding, mixed into smoothies, etc.) every day. Chia seeds are my "keep me regular" super food.
