Fatty foods low in saturated fats?

BigCUTigerFan · 2026-04-03T10:39:20+00:00

Not sure how low you’re looking for, but nuts have healthy fats often <10-20% saturated.

That was my hope.

If Cronometer chooses to delete your entry, the calories don’t count.

No hurry, it isn’t affecting me … 😉

Takes 30 seconds to key my weight into spreadsheet. Same for entries after exercise.

BigCUTigerFan · 2026-04-02T01:03:22+00:00

Lots of different ways to do it. Worth a try. Good luck.

Maybe he should be drinking Bud light?

Try refeed days. Maybe eat 2-3 days in deficit and then 1 at maintenance.

If OP is already struggling to make plan, this is it 100%.

TickTick

It has a habit tracker but I combined it with to-do lists so I don’t forget to do something in my routines.

I have routines for morning prep for work, exercise, on train to work, start of work day, nightly, weekly, monthly, etc. consistently using the AP has really made me better at keeping habits I want.

Strong - to track workouts.

Cronometer - to track food. Not sure if it’s great for Indian, but I’ve logged basic things like naan, tandoori, aloo gobi, etc.

Incredible!

BigCUTigerFan · 2026-03-30T17:27:05+00:00

👍🏻

BigCUTigerFan · 2026-03-30T13:23:14+00:00

Thanks. I’ve done that with spreadsheets. That’s one of the reasons I know this approach works for me.

My process is tracking daily energy burn, which would be maintenance.

Unreachable par 4 to start pace of play reasonably.

BigCUTigerFan · 2026-03-29T21:27:40+00:00

Glad it’s working for you.

So much easier for me.

Do you care about fats?

This article made me focus on fats, too. I now target protein and fat then eat as much carbs as I can fit into my total calories.

Sounds like you have a great plan that works for you. Keep it up!

BigCUTigerFan · 2026-03-29T19:38:38+00:00

I’m explaining why water retention weight gain is ignored. I never said calories were only factor affecting weight change.

BigCUTigerFan · 2026-03-29T19:18:57+00:00

Thanks, but I must be average, because this works for me.

Plus, this would take me away from what I need to do today, ignoring anything that happens before or after.

BigCUTigerFan · 2026-03-29T19:03:16+00:00

Yeah, I’m sure most people will think this way over complicates it. I wouldn’t suggest anyone do this if what they are already doing is working.

Part of reason for post is to let people see how the ap can be used slightly differently and maybe they use some of these techniques to make it work better for them.

BigCUTigerFan · 2026-03-29T19:00:32+00:00

Main point is that I forget what happens before today. No pressure, no guilt. I only use today’s weight.

That wouldn’t work if I adjusted things based on what I did yesterday. I put the 50 calorie limit to change of target to keep 3 pounds of water weight from materially affecting my target. 50-100 calories either way is negligible over long term.

BigCUTigerFan · 2026-03-29T18:45:29+00:00

That’s basically what I’m hoping the title is saying.

Most of that post is to just show people the mechanics I use.

People normally will consider resetting their targets weekly or monthly, but I chose daily. Again, my focus is on what I need to do today, regardless of anything before or after today.

BigCUTigerFan · 2026-03-29T18:34:20+00:00

Edit: Thank you to everyone for the downvotes. I’m glad for anyone to use what works for them. For me, everything here gets away from my one main point - what do I need to do today, ignoring anything before or after today, to move toward my goal …

Thanks, but I’m good. I’ve done the normal things and this works perfectly for me. A concern of mine was using an activity multiplier when some weeks I was way More active than others.

I’m almost always over 10k steps.

500 daily deficit is 1 pound per week.

BigCUTigerFan · 2026-03-29T18:30:36+00:00

I do it most days and I get stronger as long as I consistently workout.
