[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have tracked calories, macros, steps, sleep, workouts —- you name it — for YEARS.

I don’t think it’s made a difference. (Other than helping with portion control but at this point I’m a human MyFittnessPal. I’ve memorized all the food stats!)

On Strava, I don’t use the data, I don’t care about calories burned, I’m not trying to train for races anymore. It’s just one more app. I’m sick of charging my watch, and hate how it feels sleeping with it anyway.

I’m toying with the idea of putting them all away for 2024 and eating and exercising intuitively. It sounds liberating, but also scary. I think I’m addicted to tracking (and maybe Strava kudos, if I’m honest).

Has anyone else ditched the data?[/quote]

No, however your tracking seems excessive so I get it. Also I think age and gender matters here. I'm 58F, postmenopausal (obviously). Because of where I am in life it's critical FOR ME that I track my workouts as I'm trying to maintain muscle, and I casually track my protein intake. By that I mean that I don't weight and measure, I just eyeball it.  I don't count calories, that said I have always been an intuitive eater. I stop when I'm not quite "full", I hate that full feeling. Because I eat a fairly balanced diet I rarely have cravings or find the need to snack.  Good on you OP for striving to eat intuitively it is quite liberating. [/quote]

Same with me (49F).  I need a loose set of criteria to track because many of things I need to do - walk, eat protein, etc - do not come naturally to me.[/quote]
