    Oh I use the app too everyday but when you are at a wedding or event I sometimes find it difficult to count or remember every lil thing I ate - I guesstimate a lot of it too.

    I track every single day and I track every single thing that goes into my mouth (get your minds out of the gutter!)

    I do although weekends are rough sometimes. My diary is very accurate except for that slice of vegan cheesecake...I am under my goal every other day though so I will just workout a little longer tomorrow

    Up until a few weeks ago I was tracking EVERYTHING daily. Now I do it every other day or so but intend to get back to doing it everyday.

    Everyday.
    That way I can look back and see where I could have gone better.

    I track everyday and if I'm somewhere else and I don't know how many calories I will do a search on MFP for the food, say potato salad, and I will pick the higher calorie one.

    I track everyday. I find weekends hard so ussually will just note it on my phone and then put it all in on the Monday. It may not be 100% accurate cause often it's food I am eating out, but it's still helpful to track as it gives me a rough idea and I usually find even tho I am careful, I am eating to much.

    Everyday -555 days and counting so far.

    I can't say it's 100% accurate every single day, but even when I don't eat well I log most of what I eat (or add some extra quick cals if it's things that are hard to track). I like to be able to look back at the week and see how the cals have balanced out.

    Every.

    Damned.

    Day.

    I've tried "not logging" a couple times. And I went totally OCD and logged everything from that day.


    I do allow myself a "well, let's not worry about calories/content/macros" day once a week, but that's slowly migrated to Saturday which is my 1200+ net calorie burn LSD day, so it ends up being a wash.

    My goal is to track daily, since if I do not, I don't do well. But life has a habit of getting in the way.

    I never thought that I would calorie count yet here I am tracking every day. I'll guesstimate when I have to usually overstating the portion size so that I'm covered. If I know exactly what I'm eating for dinner I'll enter all my meals to see how much exercise I need to cover the calories. And if I want cake or pie then I'll do the extra work so I can have my treat guilt free.

    Sometimes I realize that I've missed tracking a snack/meal/drinks so I add it to the next day. That usually happens on a night out with the hubby.

    Every single day, even if I'm not happy with the end result lol!

    With random/generic foods I do my best to guess. I'm not overly concerned with being EXACT, as long as I'm being healthy :)

    I miss a day once in a while, but not often.

    i log in everyday, everything i eat goes on there no matter what, even if i go over its still good cause then i can look back and see why i gained or lost any weight. its harder when im at a bbq because i eat so much food but little amounts but still log in

    If you remain mindful on your non-tracking day. 1 day won't ruin Everything you've worked toward. Now a day of what I want, I'll have is a different story. : ) Lots of people do that. That's what they use non-tracking days for. This is not you. I'd say it's fine.
