in an effort to stay on top of my intake have been micromanaging my macros and calories. overall its almost like a game which is kinda neat and i like knowing what im putting in my body (ive been weighing everything with a little kitchen scale), but i must say it can be exhausting and frustrating.
i was using myfitnesspal and thought overall it was pretty good. i ran across a smaller service called "cronometer" that seemed to market themselves as being more focused on the quality of their data versus the quantity and unregulated crowdsourced info, but even in this app / service im seeing discrepancies between the caloric totals of the macros and the overall daily totals.
i have a tendency to be very detail / fact oriented (OCD) and things not lining up perfect drive me crazy.
im just curious how everyone tracks their intake. what sort of service do you use? how closely do you stick to your targets, or do you just use it as a general guide?
