Anyone else snap a photo of their meal and log it later?
I started doing this a few months ago. Eating out with people and I didnt want to be the person with my phone out calculating macros at the table, so I just took a quick photo and logged it when I got home.
After the first few times of trying to manually log, I bit the bullet and paid for a year of MFP so I could use barcode scanner, meal scanner and save the recipes I regularly make at home.
Now i use meal scan pretty regularly and I have been able to eat out with more confidence as it helped me realzie perfection is not required but consitency is. I have continued to maintain a 40+ lb weight loss by making efforts to log everything and not stressing as much about the nuance.
If I am anywhere but home, its photo first, log then and there. Meals out, food at events, etc. Obviously if something has a barcode I will scan it (like concessions at a sporting event) but if i feel like its way off i will reference nutrition again later.
I have really appreciated that I feel like I can stay present and enjoy inndlugences wihtout causing a scene or spending too much time on my phone.
