I’m the same. I rather just eat less in quantity to lose weight than eat only low calorie food. For example I really like Olive oil, Parmesan cheese etc

Yep; Spot on.

Yes, Cronometer also count micronutrients.

I might wanna try that sometime. I guess for now when I’m trying to loose weight I’ll just eat smaller portions without needing to count, but then when I reach goal weight I might count to know how much I’m gonna eat to maintain

Yeah I don't know, it doesn't seem very relevant + If i was you i wouldn't look for losing weight but i already said it.

 

As long as it’s not too far off I’m pleased with the app but how would I know

I don’t need to lose weight for health but I wanna be skinnier😹

What a stereotype

@SugarcoatI don't think taking pictures and letting AI guess the calories is an accurate way of measuring. I would just use chatGPT text function to calculate calories. Just tell it what you ate and approx how much. It works well.

That’s smart I have never thought or heard of that. That would kinda be like using my fitness pal right, you’d have to weigh the food or tell them the quantity in another way like for example 2 eggs or 50 grams cheese

That would be much more accurate and it is free. If you have a small kitchen scale that would be ideal.

I have one. Yea I’m considering it once I find it useful to know more exactly the calories.

That’s true. Weighing the food/counting the quantities and logging it is the ideal way of counting calories. I did do that a short while but then stopped because it was so much work kinda. But I might utilize it again

@Sugarcoat try taking photos of everything you eat for a week. Maybe you're underestimating how much work that is.

 

There's a smart way to go about tracking food: use/create categories. I'll show you with an example:

PLAN: Lunch: 150g pasta, 250g lean meat, 30g snacks, 20g nuts

The categories are "Pasta", "Lean Meat", "Snacks", "Nuts".

• Pasta: I can eat pasta with pesto, tomato sauce, or even rice, and many other possibilities. As long as the dressing isn't super fatty, I know I just have to eat 150g and I'm good, no need to log anything!
• Meat: 250g of lean meat is about 350g of lean fish, or 180g of bresaola, in terms of calories and macronutrients. So I can pick any of those 3 options (if the calories and macros are similar you can add other options), and again, just follow the quantities, without needing to log.
• Snacks: snacks like chocolate, chips, even cookies. They're all very similar in macros and calories.
• Nuts: Walnuts, almonds, cashews, all similar in macros and calories.

 

Summary, I plan my new diet (once every 1-2 months), in categories, and then I just have to weigh my food to follow my plan, without ever tracking anything, and I know my daily macros are perfect.

PS - This is how dietitians create your diets anyway...
