How the fuck are you supposed to keep track of calories and macros.
This shit is a huge pain in the ass.
I hate using measuring cups when cooking. I just go by feel. I can't fathom the idea of measuring everything I add to a dish this is fucking stupid.

just eyeball it nigga, it's all approximations anyway

You can't even "track" calories, its impossible to tell how many calories are in a given item of food and impossible to tell how many of these will be absorbed by your stomach. You absolutely do not need to track macros anyway, only micros matter.

It's what I've been doing, but I feel like I still need to eat more, I should really buy a scale.

>only micros matter
What are the important micros anyways? I've been taking vitamin D3 but thats about it.

>>76403483
All micros are essential. Your body can survive for literal YEARS without macros (see Angus Barbieri) but it needs micros daily or you will suffer.

That man was a pastrolist, hunter gatherers were black.

I bought a kg of ground beef and it took me 3 days to eat
I bought a kg of quarck and it took me 2 days to eat
I bought a liter of milk and it took me 3 days to drink
I bough a 500g of pasta and it took me 3 days to eat
They put the calories on the package then you divide than by the servings. How is this hard?

>>76403457 (OP)
If you eat naturally you don't need to track anything. Needing to count cals/macros is a function of eating a degenerated diet of modern foods that cause hormone dysfunction.

>>76403475
This is true, but you shouldn't need to track micros either. There is a lot of deliberate confusion regarding micros because most authorities claim that they can be obtained from plants when they can't in any adequate quantity. So any tracking app will be erroneous. Again, eating naturally (wild animals as much of the animal as possible) nullifies the need to track anything. All macro and micronutrients are obtained in ideal ratios and quantities when a species eats that to which it is evolved to eat. This is true for all species, humans aren't some exception that can become "more healthy" eating man-made foods.

The only thing I do when I want to lose weight is skipping breakfast and slightly smaller portions. That's a couple hundred calories. Werks for me.

Without a lab? You can't. Just guess it, it's all voodoo science anyway since you literally equate the human body with an oven (or in this case "bomb calorimeter") putting you at the level of some BC culture from antiquity.

Back to high school, don't sleep through bio this time.

It gets easier as you get your regular diet figured out.
>I hate using measuring cups when cooking
Just use a food scale it literally takes a few seconds.

>>76403654
See what I mean? This anon literally believes the metaphor of "digestive fire". So he's about the level of, say, ancient Egypt or very early ancient Greece when it comes to science. Even by US standards, that is impressively uneducated. Let's just ignore he equated digestion with cell metabolism.

>>76403457 (OP)
Just practise it for a few days and then you will have a good idea of what you're eating without actually measuring anything for years to come.
