I use cronometer.com - you need to weigh stuff you are eating but it doesn't take long until you can guess a portion size pretty accurately. It also tells you fats, proteins, micronutrients etc.

BG number going to bed will be very close to the number I wake up with the next day. Yesterday was a good day. Today, woke up with 7.2 which is good for me as I work hard to get down into a better place. I'm hoping to see 6's regularly soon. Had diabetes burnout for a bit. Working to get numbers down.
