Do you track EVERYTHING or just guess

[StRoNg_WoN]

What's up gang?

I was just curious as to how many of you track your food daily, and who just go by portions (ie. a fist full of protein, carbs, and good fats etc...)

 

[SgtSlaughter]

i don't track.

After you've done it for a while... tracked EVERYTHING. You can estimate fairly well.

Although I'll start tracking again for awhile to get my base calories down pat and go from there...

 

[StRoNg_WoN]

Ya... I'm leaning more towards the guestimate idea... but only AFTER this 26weeks is up..

 

[SgtSlaughter]

on a cutting diet it's essential to at least track every so often to make sure... or if your seeing results that you like it's fine, but to fine tune... TRACK... simple as that.

I owe my success on my first cut to tracking everything... set rep morsel of food etc... that is what I needed to get the results I needed and get them in such a short amount of time, the healthy way.

i pretty much know everything i'm eating as it's usually the same thing almost everyday...but at first yes...i did track everything.

i made turkey chili last night and i just had to sort of guesstimate...so this i plugged in just out of curiousity

Nice... ya... it seems that tracking gets you results the quickest.. I'm a tracking NUT... I'm SO ANAL about it... but it's starting to get ridiculous... maybe I'll just take a break from everything for a week, then have at'r...

Tracking is important when you are looking for yoru baseline diet or cutting bodyfat. Maintaining, I have a general idea and don't worry about being overly concerned with getting exactly x nutrents.

The last time I tried to lose weight I GAINED 15lbs ....yes, I have to track everything or I will fail.

Everybody has to track to start with but with time and a good memory you will know what you are taking in.
