I've heard of Lose It and My Fitness Pal. Anyone have experience with them or other ones?

Edit: Sorry about the laggy response, my shifts have been longer lately.

    I could go with a year's subscription. I agree with the need to monitor macros. I've been eating a lot less meat lately, with more vegetarian-type protein as a substitute (mostly in the hope that it reduces cholesterol /saturated fat). I should see what that has been doing over time.

      If you've been trying to shed weight and having a hard time lack of protein could be a big driver. I was shocked by how little I was getting before I started logging... Like 30g a day. I literally quadrupled my intake. I'm at 140 now.

      It can be done vegan though just have to eat a ton of seitan / tofu / tvp. Vegetarian is easier with the addition of egg whites.

        I gotta eat more egg whites. Maybe put them with breakfast and lunch. Maybe buy more of that almond cheese to put on it.

        Idk, I seem to be keeping up a steady decline in body fat. I'm nearly out of overweight range. I just hope if I keep it all off, I can delay becoming insulin dependent for as long as possible. Being surrounded by morbidly obese diabetics all the time scares me like that.

        Plus reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease from diet helps too, since that's also a major long-term complication.
