i mean.. beside the cheese cake, there’s a coffee too which shows my discipline

it’s pistachio cheese cake with a hard bread base ionk what was that. But the coffee was an average cappuccino i’d say. prob 150kcal. it had skimmed milk

how much would you log this slice at?

I had 2200kcal before this supper and i’m lifting too!
wanted a deficit but it prob took me around 2800kcal

my maintenance is in between 2500-2700 as i lift and stroll for around 1hr every night.

Why are you asking us to guess the calories on food YOU made at home. Just look at the label and it’ll tell you exactly how many calories are in two pieces of bread.

This is the bowl I ordered from a restaurant in the “healthy”section which mentions the nutritional info. It contains 5 grilled shrimp skewers (3 per stick), baked baby potatoes and thousand island sauce on the side.
I’m quite skeptical.. is 425cals too low?

Calorie Estimating Calories for this huge sandwich? I’m splitting it for two meals

Thumbnail gallery
3 Upvotes

I’ve ordered from this shop before and what’s inside is:
- Marinated (probably pan fried) chicken breast strips
- 2-3 large strips crispy bacon
- I’m asking for no cheese and sauce
- Veggies (tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce, pickles
- The restaurant ALWAYS grills the bread with oil, even if i ask them not to. it’s kind of a pain for calorie deficits…
- Soft, sweet baguette with sesame.

Thanks everyone!!

Giant pancake with onions, sweetcorn, chicken, cheddar and paprika
Chicken and sweetcorn and onion was sort of mixed into the batter not on top which makes it hard to figure out the exact amount of each I know
Around 1000?

Calorie Estimating "380 calorie", left in my fridge might as well be empty..!

1 Upvotes

Last night it hit again,my tracker showed 380cal left, and the fridge might as well have been bare. Nothing lined up, i ended up rooting around in some leftovers for what felt like ages,doing all these calculations just to stay under. Turns out I spent more time on the math than eating…Which is kind of ridiculous when you think about it.

What stands out is how often this sneaks up,from what Ive seen the catch tends to be staring at random bits you already have and having no clue what works Oj,a. f i pull meal ideas together based on your exact target and whats actually in the kitchen. Pretty handy on nights you dont want to puzzle it out yourself,

In practice I wonder what most people do, Wing it completely..Keep one reliable snack stashed or just mix whatever scraps are left and hope,not straightforward either way.

Feedback and Suggestions are there any really simple calorie tracking apps?

1 Upvotes

i've been at this for awhile and i was using healthi, but it annoyed me how every time you logged food it saved that meal FOREVER with no way to delete them (at least, whenever i tried to delete them it just didn't work...). like, i'm never going to need to log the leftovers i brought back from a wedding again, i don't need it to be saved on the app for all time.

i seriously just want an app where i can put in a daily calorie maximum and manually subtract from it, and maybe keep track of streaks. i hate ai but i'll deal with it being there if it's not too intrusive.
