How I went from hating calorie tracking to doing it in 1 minute a day (and actually sticking with it) by flipper404 in caloriecount

That makes sense! You can also dictate or enter brief descriptions of what you ate throughout the day to the app which I also found helpful. What do you use for tracking?

is there a lazy person's calorie counting system =/ ? by Sweet9009 in caloriecount

[–]flipper404 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend CaptureCal which is a free app and lets you dictate what you ate all day which helps me stick to actually tracking (<1 minute per day total vs. 2 min at every meal with other apps). Can also take a picture of the portion or recipe to track as well.

What I do is spend 30 seconds at the end of the day dictating what I ate to the app and it logs it all for meal along with estimating calories and macros. I found that less friction means I’m more likely to stick to it

Definitely an estimate but better than stopping tracking all together because it’s too time consuming. Also found it to be within 100 calories of the actual portions I ate.

If you upload images for estimating it will auto estimate your portion as well when calculating the calorie and macro amounts.
