[quote=Anonymous]Op, initially it is time consuming until you get the hang of it. Then you’ll discover that the foods you eat are more or less limited, so things start repeating. Here are some shortcuts that I use: - I don’t enter low calorie vegetables (lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, etc). Unless it’s a very complicated salad with lots of things in it, I just enter the “big” ingredients. So a salad of greens, and vinaigrette, I just enter the vinaigrette calories. - I accept that what I account is “in the area of” and accept that probably some days I may underestimate and some days I may overestimate and that is fine also. So I don’t bother with scales and getting things down to a calorie. This helps me not to obsess about it and makes it easier to write down. [/quote]
