I moved to South Korea a few months ago and my progress has basically reversed, due to many things, including but not limited to: still haven't bought a scale, provided lunch at work, so much rice, cheap alcohol, minimal exercise due to injury, etc.
I quit counting calories because I eat a lot of things -especially at work- that... well... to be honest, I just don't know what they are.
Any tips for logging in a foreign country? I barely read Korean and really don't actually speak the language so food labels only help so much... and a lot of things (most produce and meat? lunch at work?) aren't labeled.

I don't think it's possible if it's not labeled frankly0

It must be hard since you changed your diet for foods that you might not be well acquainted with. However, a bit of google search for calories in typical Korean dishes can help. And calories for rice and rice based dishes are also available on line if you just search a little. Good luck!0
