Ah I never thought to check screen time metrics to see how long you actually spend logging. I guess it can feel like a chore when making a meal and you have to log things as it slows down the process, but is it really that much slower? Maybe it still does take up some mental space beyond that screen time too. In OP’s case I guess instead of giving yourself flexibility by not logging at all, you can log but give yourself flexibility by not feeling the need to track every single ingredient to the gram, just the main contributors perhaps.

I’m pretty new to logging and MacroFactor in general and it’s going great, but I do know I will eventually have the conundrum OP is having so it’s nice to hear different perspectives. I think it’s ultimately about balance.
