Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 532959" data-source="post: 2694501">Might be a good idea to spend a little time weighing/tracking your food. Accurate digital scales are cheap on Amazon, and you can log your foods with a free account on cronometer. The bonus with cronometer is a pretty solid nutrition tracker.[URL unfurl="true"]https://cronometer.com/[/URL]There are also various online calculators for BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate), and if you have some kind of watch tracker you can get a loose estimate of what your body is burning throughout the day. If not, there're also various online trackers to estimate energy output.Some don't find tracking much fun, but if you log enough foods/meals, after a while you can pretty much judge things by sight. Weighing yourself daily, but only taking the average of those results (Weekly, for example) will give you a good idea of what's happening, without the daily influence of water-weight fluctuations and variablity of the weight of food in your body.One last tip, to make tracking easier: Use a voice-recorder (Most smartphones have an app for this) to speak the weights of the foods you're preparing. It's easier than having to stop and write things down...especially if you've got messy fingers.</blockquote>
