Do You Track Everything or Just Estimate
Do You Track Everything or Just Estimate
Some weigh every gram others eyeball portions Curious how strict you all are and whether being super precise actually changed your gains
Re: Do You Track Everything or Just Estimate
I track everything for the first few weeks of a cut or bulk to learn portion sizes After that I mostly eyeball and it works fine
Re: Do You Track Everything or Just Estimate
I weigh food religiously when I prep for a show but for everyday bulking I just estimate and hit macros roughly Gains are still solid
Re: Do You Track Everything or Just Estimate
Honestly tracking helps for accountability especially early on Once you know your foods you can estimate without losing much accuracy

I weigh my protein sources but eyeball everything else That little precision keeps me consistent without being obsessive

I tried estimating only and ended up under eating Tracking for a few weeks taught me actual portions and progress improved

Re: Do You Track Everything or Just Estimate
I track when cutting or trying to hit a strict macro goal Otherwise I just track calories loosely and adjust weekly easier to stick to
Re: Do You Track Everything or Just Estimate
I find tracking every gram stressful Once you learn portion sizes and calorie density eyeballing works fine for maintenance or slow bulking
