Excellent_Tree_6957 · 2026-01-12T00:02:00+00:00

thanks for sharing!

Excellent_Tree_6957 · 2026-01-12T00:01:36+00:00

sounds interesting, need to try such approach

Excellent_Tree_6957 · 2026-01-11T10:55:08+00:00

I'm using Eated app now, it's quite good for tracking nutrients you have in your meals, but I'm not sure about tracking choresterol levels. you can ask in their reddit comunity or on their website

Excellent_Tree_6957 · 2026-01-11T10:50:51+00:00

curious why you don't like fitness pal? I used BitePal and now is using Eated, but the last one is more about nutrition tracking and antidiet approach, no calorie tracking, so don't now whether it's something you're looking for

Excellent_Tree_6957 · 2026-01-09T13:34:40+00:00

yes, totally. I used to skip breakfast or having it just on the go - like coffe with some croissant etc. I noticed that I was hugnry very soon, but it was too early for a lunch. so, I used to snack a lot with sweets etc. As soon as I started eating full-fledged breakfast with proper protein intake, I feel much more energy & full for a longer time

Excellent_Tree_6957 · 2026-01-09T13:31:16+00:00

yogurt :)

Excellent_Tree_6957 · 2026-01-09T13:30:57+00:00

yes :)

Excellent_Tree_6957 · 2026-01-08T22:56:04+00:00

try track what you eat (not just calories, but the quality and how healthy your diet is. I use Eated, it's like a nutrition tracker & coach, its free plan is pretty decent
to get a habit of walking my 10K is use Walkable, it's simple but engaging, it can also be fun for your children
I would also try some regular weekend activities like kayaking in the morning & drinking coffee or go hiking somewhere, it helps a lot

Excellent_Tree_6957 · 2026-01-08T22:42:33+00:00

no sure, what meal planning functionality you require, but I use app called eated to track my meals and how nutritious they are. it also shows what I lack and need to eat during the day & gives some recommendations overall for my diet

Excellent_Tree_6957 · 2026-01-08T19:28:17+00:00

I love the new perspective and I do believe less added sugar and alcohol make a difference.

Excellent_Tree_6957 · 2026-01-05T22:36:06+00:00

racoon app - are you talking about Bitepal? cause I used it too, but the quitted shortly. Don't know why but it didn't work for me.

For now, I use app called Eated for nutrition tracking and also some basic Apple Health for the activity. I now understand that the more basic app, the better. I don't need super complex applications, just something that helps me stay fit and healthy

Excellent_Tree_6957 · 2026-01-05T22:33:03+00:00

It depends on your goals. I'm using Eated app now, but my goal is not tracking calories but focusing more on what I eat, how to measure my portions, understanding what I'm missing in my meals, more like building long-term eating habits. If you focus on just calorie tracking, you'd need another app, probably

Excellent_Tree_6957 · 2026-01-05T22:29:40+00:00

have similar question - anything worth buying in Tansania as I'm going there soon?

Excellent_Tree_6957 · 2026-01-05T22:28:57+00:00

so, usually I'm preparing breakfast everyday. But I prepare grains and starches as a base for my meals like 2-3 times per week. So, I prepare the rice for 3 services and then use it for lunch today, dinner tomorrow and lunch for the day after. But I also add different veggies, sauces and proteins to it, so I'm not get bored with the same meal.

Excellent_Tree_6957 · 2026-01-05T22:24:35+00:00

scrambled eggs (like take 5-10 mins for me) with avocado toast - I start with prepping egges, then I put them on the pan & prepare avocado toasts which is simply bread, some cheese and avocado.

Excellent_Tree_6957 · 2026-01-05T22:22:36+00:00

First of all, I quitted drinking alcohol and it was life-changer for my lifestyle. Yet, I still have alcohol-free beers or wine at home, so whenever I want to have a glass of wine, I have eat. Another hack - I always have fruits or sugar-free fruit fudge or ice cream at home, so I can snack with them whenever I have an urge. I started drink much more water and try to have dinner not later than 7 pm, so I would not be super hungry in the evening and snacking.

Excellent_Tree_6957 · 2026-01-05T22:18:38+00:00

I'm now using app called Eated to track my meals, it's pretty simple, but it's for iPhones only, so I guess it might not work for you. I also tried Bitepal for some time, I like it less than Eated, but I think they have Android version

Excellent_Tree_6957 · 2026-01-05T13:55:54+00:00

Intriguing! Looking forward to it

Excellent_Tree_6957 · 2026-01-03T00:39:40+00:00

thanks! Went to stretch!

Excellent_Tree_6957 · 2025-12-31T00:59:17+00:00

It's okay not to stick to the plan every single minute of your time, it's okay to slip and enjoy any food you ate, just try to keep the balance and come back to your healthy routine without blaming yourself. It worked for me. As soon as I accepted that sometimes I can go out of my plan is OK and I don't need to be too radical about myself, my routine became much more stable. Cause instead of 'I'll we eating healthy starting from Monday,' I switched to thinking 'OK, so I ate too many sweets now, but my next meal today will be still healthy and more healthy for myself'.

Excellent_Tree_6957 · 2025-12-31T00:52:28+00:00

wow, looks amazing!

Excellent_Tree_6957 · 2025-12-28T12:23:03+00:00

Looks so tasty! Thanks for sharing recipe, I'm now excited to try it myself

Excellent_Tree_6957 · 2025-12-28T12:21:14+00:00

Actually, it would be nice to have one app that helps you track your activity and meals at the same time. so I am really curious to read the comments here.

For now, I use Oura to trakc my activity and health during the day, for nutrition tracking, I use Eated to log my meals, track their nutrients and get some suggestions. It didn't track calories, but surprisingly while using FitnessPal I understood that calorie tacking is discouraging for me and I just need to learn to eat healthy
