[quote=Anonymous]I have done this off and on to lose weight. It can be very tedious if you are rigorous about it, especially if you mostly cook at home and eat fresh foods. This is because for every dish you have to add up the calories in all the ingredients individually and then weigh your portion to figure out how many calories you are eating. If you use a recipe from a fairly popular source, sometimes someone on the app will already have put it in. And even for a basic snack, like an apple or piece of cheese or something, you should still be weighing it if you want to truly know how many calories you're eating. Or you can just kind of make educated guesses about how many calories are in things, but that's obviously not going to be as accurate if you're really trying to fine-tune things. If you mostly eat take-out/packaged foods it's a little easier because the items will mostly already be in the app. Also, it gets easier over time if you repeat dishes a lot. [/quote]
