Yes, I find the logging useful once in a while too. Gets you back on track, can't be bothered with it all the time but if I notice weight or fasting glucose trending the wrong way I go back to logging for a couple of weeks to get back into a good pattern again. I tried the Hava app for a bit, it is oriented around satiety scores for your food and it prompts you at the right times to log your lunch etc. Does get tedious after a while though.
