Hey,
I wanted to share a small win and something that really worked for me.
For a long time I struggled to log food consistently. Most calorie tracking apps felt too complicated. Too many features, too many steps. I kept starting and giving up.
Then I tried something super simple. I just wrote what I ate into ChatGPT.
Things like: 1 banana, 2 eggs, coffee with milk
And it gave me the calorie total.
No searching, no barcode scanning, no categories. Just typing and seeing where I’m at.
This tiny habit helped me stick with it, and I ended up losing 5kg in 2 months.
Now I’m building a little app based on that idea. Nothing advanced. Just a clean space to write down what you ate, see your daily total, and track your progress.
I’m not selling anything. Just curious if this kind of idea makes sense to anyone else.
- Does something like this sound useful to you?
- What makes it hard for you to log food every day?
Here’s a screenshot of what it looks like right now. It’s still early, but I’d love to hear what you think.
Thanks for reading!

Doesn’t sound like a bad idea! But for me personally, since I’m in a smaller deficit, it’s crucial to weigh and count everything right since it’s so easy to underestimate calories with a program like this. I think that as our maintenance calories eventually drop as we’re losing weight, this will probably end up being quite inaccurate at some point
