i do this as well. i start off by figuring out what am i trying to achieve, gaining, cutting, or maintaining. i then develop a diet based on my goal that fits on one sheet of paper. I write out meal #1 - meal #6 or whatever meal # i need in order to achieve my goal. I break down the meals by listing exactly how many oz of protein and carbs i need to eat with whatever else like fats or supps. calculate totals for protein, carbs, fats, & calories; and use these #'s as my basis for my meals each day to make sure i have allocated enough oz's to reached my desired goal.

from their i just make sure that i consume exactly the # of oz's for protein, carbs, & fats as i have listed on my meal plan, meaning i dont eat exactly what i have listed each and everyday bc i may want to switch it up, i just make sure i eat exactly the # of oz's for each as i have listed.

i also have a group of foods i choose from for each meal. protein: eggs, chicken, turkey, fish. carbs: brown rice, gluten free oatmeal, gluten free whole grain bread, brown rice pasta, potato's, sweet potato's. fats: olive oil, coconut oil, avocado, walnut oil, fish oil.

phone app - myfitness pal......has everything. Can scan the bar code and puts it in automatically!

GREAT APP

Microsoft Excel spreadsheet me my diet coach sends them to me I follow them check off the meals or put in a note if I screw up and have a cheat meal.

My family has been using this source and I am impressed with it:

fitbit.com

counting calories is a pain in the ass and overated. Im like gator eat big to be big and if i start getting fat back of the junk food.

Have you ever tried Google docs? You can share it and both you make real time edits. In the cloud too so you can access it any where.

i dont really keep track tbh
i just eat clean and reasonably
i also dont pay attention to the scale and prefer the mirror

Livestrong . com has myplate which has been working pretty well for me.

Can track weight trends too, and it doesn't cost anything.
