    I work in a hospital and sometimes go to the cafe. I purchased these firey hot chicken strips (most things at the cafe have a nutrition label) this didnt, So i called the supervisor in the cafe to get the manufacturer info. Called the manufacturer to get the cal for the 3 chicken strips that i consumed :D

    It works because you are eating less calories than you are burning.

    Leaving aside the perplexing question of why anyone would be on MyFitnessPal who doesn't count calories,


    > I enjoy the community and the blog, calorie counting is not the only feature of the app.

    That's a really sweet memory with your grandmother,
    OP. :) I could see the emotional connection, in a way, making it feel more important to get it right with this.

    As far as how far I go...not very lol. I'm a relatively laid back tracker, I guess. I think the furthest I've gone is creating an entry for a food item that wasn't already there or was logged inaccurately. I consider my meticulous weeks when I actually use my food scale rather than estimate!

    If my results significantly differed from what I logged, I would aim for more precision. But I haven't come across that problem yet.
