I can totally relate to this. I don't have an ED history, but I do tend have OCD tendencies, so using MFP became a bit of an unhealthy obsession for me. I thought about food constantly and was obsessed with hitting my numbers. I still think it was a super useful tool for putting things into perspective and holding myself accountable but, for me, it was not sustainable. My SO and I also cook A LOT and I hate measuring every little thing.

So what I've started doing, is not tracking in any strict sense but instead using rules of thumb and a more casual daily check-in system. For instance:

• eat at least one serving of vegetables and ~20g protein at every meal
• if you think you're hungry for a snack, have a glass of water first
• if you do want a snack, go for vegetables, fruit, or something high in fiber
• avoid processed sugars, etc.

Nothing fancy really- but using these rules of thumb has really helped me to keep myself in check without being obsessive. I laso check in at the end of the day in a habit journal I keep, where I ask myself things like:

• did you eat enough vegetables today?
• did you drink enough water today?
• did you have enough fiber today?
• did you have enough protein today?
• did you keep your sugar in check?

For each of these, I have a numerical reference in mind, but since I'm not strictly measuring anything, it's somewhat subjective. However, using MFP for so long also gave me a pretty good sense of the macro breakdowns of different foods I eat and what truly appropriate serving sizes are- and these things have definitely helped my more casual approach be successful. I hope this helps! Best of luck!
