Recording Calories You Stuff In Your Cake Hole

It’s crazy when you actually weigh out a serving of something and seeing what it actually is changes the game. When you used to think your just having “some” rice, then find out it’s like 3 cups haha
 
For real! That’s solid advice. Count, measure, weigh and track #allthething that we eat!
Even my kids know Mommy weighs everything. It takes practice to build the habit but after time you don’t even think and just do.
 
I’ve always been a fan of spreadsheets. A lot of my life resolves around them. You might find this template I made up useful, I plan to use it for this month of May. For April, I was following a similar guide like this, but not as well organized, scheduled, or logged. I only had recipies, and a target marcro in mind.

It is targeting a low fat, high carb diet, as I’ve been trying to lean up. I’m currently targeting about 2400-2500 calories, 10-15% fat, 55-60% carb, 35% protein per day. For March/April I lost 10lb mostly fat, then I gained some of it back after getting out of the hospital, and being spoiled by my mothers cooking lol. Time to follow the guide again.

It’s a work in progress, and want to make a dedicated thread on it after another month of work, and just playing with the data a bit. But thought it might provide some value. I’m hesitant to make the thread yet, as both the unforseen health event adding a lot of variables, and I want to give the diet log a good 3-4 months as usually the last couple of months your body has adjusted to the new diet, and I’d assume results might not be as consistent. I also need to better track my workouts, I’m not really sticking to a real workout log atm.

Maybe, I’m kind of an opensource kind of person. So if I were to make an app, it would just be a mobile friendly website, with github for people to host personal apps. But so much time and commitment. Right now I’m more interested in working out, keeping a diary of it, and working on my car. 😎
 
Its the most tech thing ive seen @JB_rD81 also uses spreadsheets for his log most of the time.
This is everything though charted perfect and has all the information about your whole diet so easy to just pull and add then you have perfect statistics breakdown.
Damn brother that’s sweet @Tack
