Most people quit tracking calories within 2 weeks. Not because they lack discipline — because their system is too complicated.

Here's what I've seen over and over:

The mistake: Trying to log every single ingredient, weigh everything to the gram, and hit perfect macros from day 1.

The fix: Start with just tracking total calories. That's it. Don't stress about protein/carb/fat splits yet. Just get in the habit of logging what you eat.

Once that feels automatic (usually 1-2 weeks), layer in macros. Then start fine-tuning portions.

The 80/20 of calorie tracking:

• Log meals right after you eat (not at the end of the day)

• Use a simple app that doesn't overwhelm you

• Aim for consistency, not perfection — 5 days of tracking beats 2 perfect days

That's exactly why I built CalTrack — to strip away the complexity and make tracking something you actually stick with.
