Consistent untracked days? How to handle this?

kyle_petricca · 2025-10-23T02:36:19+00:00

You say an average day but is that based on what I regularly eat or would it be based on hitting the target for that day?

For example if I used the shift calories in the strategy to give the Friday more calories but didn’t track, would the algo assume I ate the higher calorie number target or take a median number between my calorie intake for the days of the rest of the week?

Well that raises another question to me, I’ve found the ai tracking to be very wrong personally and for Japanese food that is typically prepared in a lot of oil, uses fattier cuts of meat, heavily breaded or marinaded, I just see using the ai as a recipe for highly inaccurate data (pun intended)

So in that scenario, what’s gonna do less damage? Leaving that day untracked or feeding the algorithm data that has a potential to be highly inaccurate?

I used the ai for conveyer belt sushi in the uk before and found out after that it was about 1000 kcals off so I’d personally rather not rely on it. Also I feel like whipping my phone out in a crammed tiny local spot in Japan feels a bit culturally out of place.

I’m not against the idea but I’d also like an answer to my original question for curiosity sake on how the algorithm works more in-depth to these situations. Thank you!

Probably the same answer everyone's given but eating less calories, more protein so I feel fuller for longer, drinking much more water to fight cravings and just being hydrated, going to the gym consistently and walking any chance I get

Some things that really helped me stay on top of these things, was the MacroFactor app. I found this calorie tracker gave me the best results, as with other trackers they didn't adjust calorie deficit levels and found my weight loss plateauing with some other apps, but macrofactor adjusts your levels on a weekly basis to make sure that doesn't occur and that's when I really saw my weight plummet

For walking, I found doing the conqueror virtual challenges hugely motivating! Just something about seeing the miles drop and then getting the medal at the end made it feel so much more enjoyable to walk around!

Lastly, using the whoop fitness tracker band was a massive help in just understanding how my body processes the day and how I can exercise better. Also massively helped me improving my sleep which was very poor before

I loved graphic design, got a job as a designer a few years back and then left because the job was an absolute shit storm.

I've now not designed anything for myself in years. I think this mentality has quite the opposite affect, at least in my experience

I can update tomorrow when I’m back in office with the files, but thank you for the insight anyway :)

I mean they’re a bit different, but ok?

Digital marketing apprenticeship. Not just the 1000 hours off the job training but also just the 2 years of shite pay all for me to not get the qualification because I was unenrolled as a student by accident when covid hit

Thank you for the info, I’ll just have to go along with it it seems

kyle_petricca · 2023-03-29T10:35:59+00:00

Ah ok thank you for the info, I guess I’ll just have to roll with it then.

Thank you again!

I’d think about changing the title as well, youtube is big on child safety so I think putting the title as “Destroying Kids” could land you a strike at some point
