Tracking question

Do you track to record your intake, or is tracking an integral part of deciding what and how much to eat? I find it differs when I am trying to lose weight as opposed to when I am maintaining.

    Hmm - you’re asking (as I read it) if it’s about accountability or budget.

    For me, it’s not either/or, but rather about percentages. I think the fact or execution is about knowing how much I can ”afford” I eat, so that I can live within limits. I think the quality of the tracking is about accountability - listing it all, being honest about portions, etc. I’d say it’s about 2/3 about budget, and about 1/3 about accountability.
