Tips for Tracking Calories Without Burning Out

Calorie counting doesn't have to be obsessive or stressful. Here are some practical tips to make it sustainable:

  • Don't aim for perfection: Being within 100-200 calories is close enough. Obsessing over exact numbers leads to burnout.
  • Track typical days first: Start by tracking a few normal days to understand your baseline before making changes.
  • Focus on patterns, not individual days: One high-calorie day won't ruin your progress. Look at weekly averages instead.
  • Use round numbers: Estimating "about 300 calories" for lunch is fine—you don't need decimal precision.
  • Take breaks: Once you've learned what a 500-calorie meal looks like, you can track less frequently.

Remember, the goal of using a calorie counter for free is to build awareness, not to create anxiety around food.
