re: Macro counting

I did it for years. Found myself too reliant (sounds weird but probably addicted to it to be honest) on the app and have recently stopped tracking and tried just being more mindful.

I think tracking is a good place to start to help you understand the impact of what you eat on your daily caloric intake, but I would caution you on letting it become a crutch and/or getting too in the weeds/anal about hitting the number every single day. Don't forget to enjoy yourself every once in a while - just don't eat and drink like an a-hole every weekend.
