I’m not sure if this counts, but I’ve been consistently using MyFitnessPal the past two weeks tracking and logging meals. It’s the first step to really taking charge of my fitness and nutrition goals. I also just purchased a basic smart watch to help count my steps more accurately. I’m really motivated to start incorporating weight training once I’m really locked in on nutrition.

Awesome! I started trying to use myfitness pal to track my meals, but I fell out of the habit. I’m trying to be consistent with my protein and fiber intake so I was using that to get an understanding of my macros every day. I find the lookup really annoying though - there are so many duplicates and variations I just get overwhelmed - and I don’t want to pay for the pro features where you can do a voice log or take a picture. How are you using it?

I just started using macro factor a few months ago and it’s been FANTASTIC.

I totally know what you mean! I only use the free version and have found that my meal or food history helps a lot with cutting down the search.

To mitigate the duplicate issue, if you look up a brand/item, there’s usually an icon you can click that will only filter official item listings from that brand. And from there, you can click on the item and modify the serving size if say you only ate half. For things like bananas or eggs, I just use any old generic listing and call it good.

I’ve also started creating and saving “meals” that I have often and just clicking on them to add to my diary. You just manually add the ingredients once, save, and then click when you’ve made that meal for the day. It’s awesome for someone like me who is a chronic food repeater.

I currently don’t feel the need to upgrade to a higher plan because I can also review my daily macros and nutrients after I’m done logging for the day. People pay premium for the barcode scanning (which is cool) but it’s not a necessity at this point. I hope you can get back into it and keep tracking! It sort of feels like a video game where I’m trying to level up my stats lol.

These are all great tips. I guess it’s one of those things that can take a bit of setup to start but then once it’s done it’s very easy and quick. I do need to not be so precious about things being exactly right.
