"Intuitive eating-mode" feautre suggestion
I think there should be some sort of optional “Anti-E.D.”/"Intuitive eating" feature that can be turned on or off depending on preference. When enabled, it would hide your calorie and macro totals for the current day, with the totals becoming visible again the following day.
I know quite a few people who I think this could help tremendously. I’ve even caught myself restricting what I eat when I’m displeased with my calorie count for the day, rather than listening to my hunger and eating intuitively.
The point of this feature wouldn’t be to discourage calorie or macro tracking altogether. You could still log everything as usual; the difference would simply be that you wouldn’t have access to the running numbers until the next day. This could help people manage their nutrition while reducing the temptation to change their eating based solely on how their numbers look.
I think having the choice to track while also being able to take a step back from the numbers could make the app more helpful and accessible for people who find that seeing their daily totals negatively affects how they eat.
Edit: I can't reply to every comment so to every one of you: Thanks so much for all of your input. It's great to see so many people who relate, and understand eachother. Truly a great community! God bless all of you
