I stopped tracking everything in July last year and feel so much better for it! Today I decided to do a random spot check so reinstalled the MFP app and here’s what I got…

Seems like you have gotten the hang of it. Pretty spot on I would say.
What do you eat for carbs and how is your potassium intake?

This is the nutrition info for today.
Carbs today just the scoop of greens powder I mixed into my olive oil / almond milk based shake, and a handful of almonds.

Doesn’t get any better than that! I’m considering when I stop tracking. I mean why? I generally know the make up of the foods I eat. I do think it has allowed me discipline for the six months since I began.
I went back into my Fitday from to ten years ago and ate the same during Atkins induction (but with less fat).
Good show!

I’m really glad I stopped tracking, couldn’t go back to doing it all the time. My stress levels are much improved with not having to weigh / measure everything, and I’m still getting the results I want so all good

@Darlene_Horsley that’s what happened with me, I got lazy for a while the decided if I wasn’t going to do it properly then why bother at all, so stopped.

Right?! I get tired of entering my own recipes and double checking the carbs on pre-entered items on MFP.

Exactly, it’s a lot of work. Very useful tool, but once you know what to do, not necessary.

When you put that data into MFP, did Siri not make an automated call to your GP, then cause your iPhone to smoke and spontaneously combust?
