    Do you brush your teeth every day? Change clothes every day? Go to work? Do your chores? Eat meals? Those are ALL habits that started with decisions. Over time, the decision becomes less of a conscious choice and simply is "normal routine". The same applies to weighing, counting and logging your food.

    Just like committing to losing weight... Make a commitment to log everything you eat or drink. You'll find that the latter will make the former a lot easier. Good luck!

    Daily Macros (Or daily avarages such as daily calories, fibers...)

    One more thought. If you're dead set against counting calories, which you seem to be. Calorie counting is just a strategy. There are other strategies you can use like increasing low calorie foods like vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, and decreasing higher calorie foods like fatty meats, deserts, pastries, etc. You don't have to count calories to do that, it just helps.

    Here's a visual that may be helpful:

    (Although I would argue that a 2 oz portion of meat is too small for most people.)
