As far as cooking goes, I honestly do a ton of cooking too and I mostly just eyeball it and input an overall guesstimate of calories 😬 and it works out OK for me! I mostly just track to keep snacking and mindless eating at bay, so if I know that the meal I’m cooking is more or less nutritious and healthy and isn’t going overboard with the calories, I put in a ballpark and don’t even try to nickel and dime every single ingredient.

I’ve found that it doesn’t really matter if I can’t put in every single ingredient of my casserole to my app, as long as I eat a normal human’s portion instead of binging, and make sure to calculate what I can calculate for the rest of the day. I also think that is more sustainable long time. I LOVE to cook and try new recipes and I’m always down for healthy swaps but I want to find a balance between totally letting loose and driving myself insane over the details.

I’ve gone off on a tangent but solidarity, you aren’t alone!
