Ramblin', a pause in monitoring makes sense right now. hugs to you.
Happily, I lost some water weight overnight - that was pleasant to see.
Can't record all the time, but just to remind myself of the "matching-but-different" choices I came up with today:
rolled oatmeal this time, with blueberries, cherries
restaurant black bean burger (lettuce, tom, pickles) slaw
huge variety salad + walnuts, peas, corn, grapes, orange
walking
Got just 20 checkmarks today. Eating a meal out, no matter how carefully I may order, directs some natural hunger into items that don't add much nutrition (like, today, a brioche bun). Also, time still passes when you fill up that way, and by the time you're hungry enough to eat more, the clock may say it's too late. I missed getting 2 checkmarks for "other veggies" today because even though I had potatoes at the ready, I'd have needed to eat them so late. Kinda promised myself not to eat late.
I don't know that I can add much to the counting discussion since I'm always eating plants, with carbs and fiber going very high. For reference, Cronometer says yesterday I was at 170 g carbs and 33 g fiber, and you can see what I ate. It says I've been generally living at about 70/19/11 of carbs/protein/fat. Protein usually above RDI, for what that's worth. Someday I might personalize the targets, but I haven't taken the time. For instance, they don't automatically have a target for sugars as opposed to starches, but offer it to you to personalize, and that might be nice. They do target amino acids, which is cool and science-y.
