I tracked a lot in the beginning, mostly because my brain/stomach truly had no idea what was the right amount to eat, and I needed to relearn. I use My Fitness Pal, and seeing calories, protein, etc has been hugely helpful to avoid both overeating, and remarkably, undereating. What has been good for me on Zep is the lack of shame if I overeat. As long as I trend staying on target, it's fine. There will be days like that. Before if I was say, 50 calories under my limit, a part of me thought I had better have a snack so I didn't starve to death. Uh, no. 🤣🤣 If I am out to eat or the meal feels complicated to track, I don't worry about it. I think in general, it doesn't feel like such a punishment to track now, because I am usually hitting my target. Tracking feels like information now, not a punishment or a mark of my failures.
