    I plan to track for the rest of my life, like I plan to watch a speedometer when I drive.

    i still track, been on maitainance since april. it helps me keep track plus its mostly on my phone. i plan to keep track for as long as i can- as its quick and easy. after jan i will prob reduce my time on the forums/website but plan to keep tracking.

    I've been on maintenance for not quite a month, and I will keep on logging as long as I can keep the interest up, or when I feel I have reset my eating habits well enough not to need it anymore. Or I could just keep on logging forever, cause I am rather anal about a lot of things (I measure out my breakfast cereal in the morning using my kitchen scales!)

    I find tracking most valuable when I train really hard - because damn, I'm hungry! And I know I can eat wayyy too much!

    Otherwise it's a matter of knowing your portions, knowing your macros, and getting to know what a "normal" day's food looks and feels like. You'll start to know when you are around your maintenance cals and will have a pretty good idea of when you go over/stay under. It becomes habit and intuition.

    That said, logging doesn't hurt. It keeps me on track so I do it....
