That stuff is for women and people who want to pretend they're going to eventually get in shape.

My fitness pal is really good for tracking calories and macros. Paired with under armour record it's even better. Good luck fatass

One tedious SOB. Unless you're eating widely available pre-made food, restaurant food, or measuring everything in your cooked meals, it's a pain in the arse to get it right.

I used it for a few weeks to let me get the feel of what a good day's worth of food was for the macro proportions I was shooting for and now just base my eating off that experience.

If you are very disciplined, it works well because you'd rather not eat than enter another damn item.

true story

The worst is when I would look up something like hot and sour soup, and one "generic" entry for a cup has 17 carbs, and another "generic" entry for a cup has 1.6 carbs. And it's not like they have "hot and sour soup from 'Happy China' Restaurant" in there.

Still being close is better than no option at all.

Seems like a big problem is people not always associating the calories with the food they are eating, and as long as you are somewhat honest, seeing 500 calories for 4 oreos or whatever it should definitely help out.

a calorie tracker and a pedometer are pretty simple to use. I think iphone has both included in the health app

Simple diet plan:

1- Eat less.

2- Move around more.

It really isn't that bad. I have never complained about it being tedious. I thought it was really too easy to not do it.

Just scan the package from which the food came from. This includes the stuff you make in your meals.
