Do you count calories? Do you track the food you eat? If so do you use an app or just write them down? If an app, what app?

I don't count calories. Prior to April of last year, I ate mostly paleo and found if I limited my carbs - particularly wheat- I lost weight. After April I got really sick and the types of food I could eat became very limited (to initially 3 foods, now up to about 20 foods total) and so I work within that limitation. I pretty much eat by volume now and have found that it works for me. I eat a pear for breakfast (the only fruit I'm allowed to have), and 2/3 of a bowl of food for lunch and another 2/3 to 1 bowl of food for dinner. This is based on the size bowls we use at our house, which are decent sized. I really have no idea how much it works out to in calories. I eat to satiety, which when you can only eat a few foods usually happens pretty quickly because of food boredom. When food boredom hits, I know I'm not hungry any more. It's an upside of the limited diet, I suppose, much as I miss eating all the delicious foods that are out there that I'm no longer allowed to have.

PS: I do track what I eat in an Excel spreadsheet. But it's more as part of an overall tracking of my health and noting whether I'm reacting to certain foods or not.

I don't count calories either. I really suck at it. I have tried doing it before, only to track for a few days and then get lazy.
I wish there was some kind of device that would scan your food, and then tell you exactly the amount of calories and nutrition information in it.
I would definitely be buying it... Well, maybe in the future, but now everyone just has to compute it manually...

I do count calories, carbs, fat and protein, but I get lazy with tracking it. I am trying to work on that as I lose more and more frequently when I track my foods. I write everything in a note book, don't really care for logging food into apps, but now that i have a fit bit and I logging in it there to track calories only

I'm on Atkins, so technically I should only count carbs. But I log everything into fitday and track my calories too. I should use a better program that fitday, but I made some custom food things in there years ago I still use. I don't want to start over.

Im on weight watchers so use there app and point system
it is a little different to counting calories as they have allocated a points value based on how healthy it is high protien low sugar plan - so chocolate has a higher points value then say chicken and most fruit and veg have no value..
however
I have a friend who tracks with MFP (my fitness pal) which is linked to her Garmin Vivofit tracker .. she allocates calories into 3 ... one third fruit and veg .. low or no starch veg .. ie this does not include potatoes avocado legumes - kidney/pimento/white beans (it does include green beans) one third as proteins ... meat dairy eggs etc.. and the last 3rd anything else
wish we lived closer so we could be walking buddies but she is in a different part of the country (I'm in New Zealand by the way)
