Still got to count it. But now you've put the idea in my head of a smartwatch-like device that screams at you when you pass your calorie limit and I'm mad it doesn't exist.
Oh I know they are bad at burn estimation (I never factor exercise into my cut calculations period), I just wish tech really could get good enough to track the calories you were eating as you ate them.
That we live in an age where you can manually input what you eat into a handheld device and it tells you how much your intake is, is pretty wild. The same device can be used to connect to a bassicaly unlimited resource of health information. We have all the tools we need anon (:
Yeah that's what I already do. I mean like instead of eyeballing calories from a dish you didn't make you could just eat it and the machine tells you the calories and macros. Real magic shit. For restaurant meals I usually guesstimate then multiply by 2 for calorie counting safety.
Even high quality ones like garmin running watches? I assumed they’d be extremely precise since they have your height/weight plus constantly measuring your heart rate
They are accurate for steps, heart rate, distance, etc. but they still over-estimate calories burned.
Lots of studies out, this is the most recent analysis I believe

That Anon asked specifically about Garmin devices. The Garmin devices underestimates calorie burn, not over estimated. And as the researchers note, the tested devices were at at least accurate in measuring activity trends. Fitness trackers don't need to give you 100% accurate calorie burns to be useful, they just need to be consistent in the magnitude they report. They can be 10-30% inaccurate, but as long as they are consistently inaccurate, which they generally are, they are still a useful tool for individual users to gauge their relative activity levels.

Get circadian rhythm right
Sleep more
Stop eating carbs
Stop taking meds

Take your RDA of electrolytes
Out of all of them it's probably the electrolytes. I fixed that and I didnt know that life wasn't supposed to be dark and bleak for so many years. I feel 10/10 almost all the time now
Iodized salt
Epsom salt
Morton salt substitute
Baking soda
Get those 4 and take your RDA. You'll be blown the frick away

I’m really bad about counting exactly but I usually fall between 1600-2000. I’m a sedentary tech drone and do 4x per week in the gym.
Can’t seem to gain or lose any weight no matter what I do but every week I look slightly more muscular, so I think I’ve unlocked the secret to “maingaining”
What are you doing on days where you’re eating 4000kcal? You must work a manual labor job or something, I’m jealous though I wish I could eat that much without ballooning up
I’m that weight and eat more, for me it’s cardio first thing in the AM and again after the workout, average like 40-50 minutes of cardio a day. Weights 5x a week and I walk and stand whenever practical.
Eating that much is not as nice as it sounds, I’m a former fat kid and I used to love food but now that’s it’s a necessity to eat like 4k calories or I feel like shit it’s become a chore. You have to eat at certain times or you frick up scheduling, you can’t eat certain things or it’ll ruin digestion for the next meal, stomach always distended. It’s pretty shitty tbh 3k is reasonable because that’s like 3 or 4 meals, once you get to 5-6k mark it’s awful 5 or 6 meals sucks balls.
Might be better if you eat shit but eating nothing but rice, potatoes, fruit, some veggies, milk, meat, and eggs it gets old real frickin quick.
I eat oats and pasta. The main reason I'm having a hard time is because I stopped drinking shakes, it's too expensive. I live in Denmark and the food prizes are already high, I might try looking for peanut butter, I've seen a lot of videos of people eating it to bulk.
I used to make shakes with milk, oats, bananas and protein powder (but I imagine the powder is probably expensive out there). Peanut butter is 180-200 cals for 2 tablespoons, you could even throw that in the shakes.
3000+, 5'10 & 160lbs but i can drop to 150 in a week with 0 exercise. Im also autismo maxing, my legs never stop moving like the energizer bunny. Sometimes it pays to be a spazz

do they have a calorie machine that tells you how much you eat? or has technology not gotten this good yet??

Smart watches are god awful at predicting calories burnt, they overestimate by a massive margin to make people feel good.
Oh I know they are bad at burn estimation (I never factor exercise into my cut calculations period), I just wish tech really could get good enough to track the calories you were eating as you ate them.

1500, 5’11 221lbs now down from 265. Trying to get to 175ish.
Counting is too hard, especially without a food scale and homemade food. I don't want to pour ketchup and mustard into teaspoons either.
Once you measure it out a few times you get a feel for it and do have to do it anymore.
Apps make it pretty easy to count calories.
