Does anyone know a lazy way to track calories?
I know I need to be in a deficit to lose weight, but I am way too lazy to weigh my food and look up portions every single day. I’ve tried standard apps before but I always quit within a week. Is there an easier way to do this?

if you want the ultimate lazy method, you should look into CheckMyMeal. i’m exactly the same and hated the constant data entry. with this tool, you just snap a quick photo of your plate or talk to it, and the tech does the heavy lifting. it honestly lets you stop counting and start living. details are on https://checkmymeal.ai/.
I get the lazy struggle because weighing every bite made me quit three times before I found what actually stuck. What finally worked was ditching the scale and using visual shortcuts - a palm for protein, a fist for carbs, a thumb for fats - which got me roughly in the ballpark without the daily drag. But the real game-changer came when I started using caloria.tech for those messy meals where I had no clue - snapping a photo gave me a reality check in two seconds, and I realised my guesses on pasta and sauces were often off by 200-300 calories, which explained why my deficit wasn't adding up. The weekly trends showed me I was consistent enough without being perfect, and that took the pressure off completely - now I just snap, adjust a little, and move on, no more quitting after seven days.
