I'm using an app on my phone. How accurate do you think these are?

Depends. I used the one that came with my Fitbit versa to count my macronutrients and it was pretty spot on...however, my carbs come from fruits and vegetables. I don't really eat processed foods with carbs. The MyFitnessPal app I tried at first was a bit more frustrating to use and wasn't quite as accurate. Granted, it's been over 2 years since I started watching my macros and so things may have been updated. I don't really use anything anymore to count my macros as I have everything pretty much memorized nowadays.

I wish you good luck on your journey!

Dont overthink it, just eat healthy, nuts, fruit (berries), protien veggies.

The accuracy might depend on the user. A user who doesn't put in the effort to measure all their food probably won't be very accurate with their counting. I think it's more up to the user than anything.

But from another angle, calories are a unit of measurement (for energy) that's been long established.

You don't need an app. Learn to count them yourself. Net carbs = total carbs - fiber - sugar alcohol.

went from 236 to 221 .....

down to 210 !

Excellent work! Keep it up!

Once you start approaching your target, start thinking about an exit strategy to transition your diet into a lifestyle change. Can't tell you how many times I've come off a successful diet only to let my old habits bring me right back to where I started.

Great job sir! Keep up the good work!

Alright folks...I've been keeping this quiet. I was well over 210 coming into 2024, I've slowly started making changes in diet and walking more each day. I'm happy to report I'm under 200 now. My goal is 180's by July.

I cut carbs, focusing on good proteins, and tons of veggies.

I try to limit carbs, I haven’t cut them out completely but I’m not far off. Congrats on the weight loss, in my opinion, diet and exercise are the best formula

Eat less and move around more. Works 100% of the time.

cant get under 208... 199 is my goal

I've been at 234.8 for 3.5 months; 214 is my goal. Sometimes you hit a plateau and it's a heck of a lot longer than others. My longest prior to this was 8 weeks. Just keep on keeping on. Your body is going to fight you losing the weight.

i just knew I Easter did me in....... 205 !!!


take that Bunny
