[quote=Anonymous]The 10:20 PP is right. It's important mostly to track the high-calorie stuff--to educate yourself about what you're actually eating and how much is in it. Most green veggies are low in calorie and aren't going to make or break you either way. If you use an app like MyFitnessPal, you can enter stuff you eat a lot (like your favorite homemade recipes) into a "my foods" section and then when you eat them again, it's really fast. I don't have a lot of weight to lose, but I use calorie tracking when I've found that I've gained 4 or 5 pounds from things like snacking on crackers while at work, or always having chocolate at night. Tracking helps me be mindful of everything I put in my mouth, which helps me lose the few pounds. And I know, if I'm planning to go to an event where i'll have dessert and wine, I should have lower-calorie meals all day. For me, it's about mindfulness, not exactness. [/quote]
