Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes, but eating all my exercise calories too.
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes, but struggling with recipes and servings. Hopefully starting BuzzFeed's 2 Week Eating Challenge with husband can get a better handle on recipes and serving measurements.4 -

Yes x 3. What helps me is pre logging my meals and adjusting them if I eat less or more than I planned.3

exercise - yes
track - yes
budget - no
pass (1)exercise - went out for exercise but there was a patch of ice at about 2/3 of the way up my first repeat. Mr Wizard told me 318 exercise calories but that isn't right. I tracked and budgeted all the way up till bedtime but then had 100ml alcohol. That kicked me over budget.2 -

Tracking:
I use calorie counts on packaged foods or restaurant menus.
I weigh all foods at home to ounce or gram, loosely dependent on @RangerRickL ‘s graphic. Ie nuts to gram, not a count (my almonds are big lol) peanut butter to gram.
My mantra from the beginning Re: nuts, PB, butter, cheese has been “As long as you control them, you can have them!” This worked great as I love having small amounts in my diet.
I have tracked my food at least since Sept 2017 - all of it. It’s a habit. I can eyeball, but only do that when away from home. BUT am considering purchasing a collapsible scale to carry on my bag. Why? Because otherwise I way overestimate the calories & end up hungry AND I track my macros & prefer that they be accurate so I can see trends.
I will track for life. I look normal now but as one podcast said, I’m a “Previously Obese Normal-Wt Person” which is quite different than a “Never Overweight Normal Wt Person” With two obese (loving) parents, I picked up all kinds of genetics, negative attitudes towards movement, inappropriate portion sizes, etc. I’m at peace with it.
Tracking is a small price - to me - to be in remission with my only addiction (food) and HEALTHY!!!
I considered not weighing low cal vegetables but decided it was best for me to “Weigh & track everything” it’s a habit. It’s easy. Especially salads, where you can tare, weigh, record, tare, weigh, record as you add each ingredient. It’s also fun to set up a home salad bar to draw from over several days.
As I work through maintenance, I began using the scale in a new way. I’d weigh the food I put in my plate. And if I didn’t feel I need to eat all of it, I’d weigh what was left & subtract. A simple move towards listening g to my body’s signals more with the safety net of the scale.5 -

Back from being home and on a diving vacation. Gained 1.5 pounds which was actually less than I expected.
Today was a pass day though (technically pass day 4 due to vacation): I logged but was over on calories and didn't exercise. I guess it takes a day or two to get back into the habit of the UAC 1 -
