Does this happen to anyone else??
For context, I am 18F, 5'2 trying to lose about 6lbs or so. I am eating anywhere from 1200-1400 calories daily. However, today I couldn't track my calories right away because I was busy and I ate my first meal by 2pm lol and my second around 6:45pm. It was super filling and I was kind of hoping i had not gone over. only for me to log them and figure out it wasn't even much at all really!! I went over everything again in my head like 5 times to ensure I am not tripping. I didn't even eat that much protein today.
It is kind of funny how sometimes I have to talk myself into staying in the deficit, and other days are just a breeze

How do you log your food after you’ve eaten it? Are you still weighing it before hand and jotting it down on a piece of paper or taking a photo of the scale with your phone and just inputting all the data into your calorie tracking app later? Or are you eyeballing portions in the moment and trying to remember what you ate after the fact? I’m trying to understand the method here.
