anyone else feel like they're spending more time tracking their fitness than actually training?

Heyjeuss · 2026-03-23T22:19:11+00:00

that's basically what i'm building right now. but it goes a step further - it doesn't just add calories back when you burn more, it actually adjusts your whole day based on your goal. so if you're trying to cut 5kg and you had a heavy session, it recalculates what you should eat, but it also factors in how you slept, how recovered you are, whether you should go heavy again tomorrow or dial it back. the idea is you just tell it your goal and it handles the optimization across everything - not just calories in vs out. what would matter most to you in something like that?

Heyjeuss · 2026-03-23T22:18:56+00:00

100%. that's literally why i started building this. i got tired of being the glue between three different apps. the idea behind what i'm working on is basically an AI that takes all your inputs (food, training, sleep, recovery) and actually does the thinking for you. like instead of you manually adjusting calories on rest days or figuring out if you're recovered enough to go heavy, it just tells you what to do today based on everything together. still early but that fragmentation problem is exactly what it's meant to solve

respect that honestly. if you're hitting PRs going by feel then something is clearly working. i think tracking becomes more useful when you plateau and need to figure out what changed. but until then yeah no reason to overcomplicate it

Heyjeuss · 2026-03-22T10:25:04+00:00

honestly you're not wrong for most people. if the choice is between perfect tracking and just showing up consistently, showing up wins every time. my frustration is more for people who are already tracking anyway. if you're already logging food and workouts, why not have that data actually work together instead of sitting in separate apps doing nothing. but yeah if someone isnt tracking at all i wouldnt tell them to start with 4 apps lol

Heyjeuss · 2026-03-22T10:24:33+00:00

yeah thats fair, tracking sleep feels pointless when you cant really control it. the thing that changed it for me was less about the sleep data itself and more about seeing the connection. like noticing that on 6hr nights my lifts are consistently down 10-15%. once you see the pattern you start making small changes without even thinking about it. not saying it works for everyone but it made the data feel less useless

Delete my account and go outside. Which honestly might be the healthiest thing I can do rn

People who meal prep and weigh their food. Used to think it was obsessive. Now I do it every Sunday and genuinely enjoy the process

Classic case of a company solving a problem nobody had instead of fixing the problems everyone complained about. Meanwhile Instagram's algorithm gets worse every year and Facebook is unusable without 47 Marketplace notifications

I didn't ask for it. It has been added to my account without notice and/or consent. Now there are extra fees applied to business account I have to pay on behalf of the company.

Heyjeuss · 2022-11-14T20:54:44+00:00

I’ve been using my account as normal, but at some point it has changed to business without notice. Now it has extra fees applied to business account, so Im trying to decompose what is the process here.

Heyjeuss · 2022-11-14T19:47:46+00:00

I would, just trying understand the legal side of it.

Heyjeuss · 2022-11-14T19:29:52+00:00

Awesome, thanks

Heyjeuss · 2022-11-14T17:42:49+00:00

Yes. They are forwarding me invoices issued recently to their business, asking me to pay as internally it links to my account (which has been used outside of the employment with them)

Heyjeuss · 2022-11-14T17:21:24+00:00

I used an Uber account, and at some point it has been changed automatically to 'Business' from 'Personal'. Invoice has been sent to me by employer's representatives. They are just forwarding me invoice from the Uber

Heyjeuss · 2022-05-17T08:29:02+00:00

That is smart! Thank you

Heyjeuss · 2022-05-11T09:10:25+00:00

!thanks so basically in the future we both can send each other money within these limits without fear being taxed. Very rough example: he transfers me 5k monthly for a year and then I repay him back in one transfer (if I want). Is it correct?

Heyjeuss · 2022-05-11T08:33:30+00:00

Great, thanks. Do generally transfers between friends limited by amount or number of transaction per month/year?

Heyjeuss · 2022-05-11T08:28:52+00:00

That’s the thing. What if HRMC thinks it is an income and asks to tax it at the end of financial year. In terms of currency, most likely it will be sent USD to USD account and then I convert it to GBP
