"I also appreciate how you're starting with basic tracking, quality, not concerned with calories. That was a hang up for me with my fitness pal – I didn't care about the calories as much as the quality...but mentally the two couldn't be separated in the app. Getting control of the quality before stepping into calorie tracking is a great mind shift for me. I don't know that I really want or need to lose weight, but I do want healthy choices and lifestyle to be easy (realize 'boring' is a key component here) for me and for my kids. I want to set up repeatable processes so that as they grow up they can take them and adapt them to fit their needs and lifestyle.
 
Thanks for the consistent emphasis on consistency over perfection. It's a big mind shift that is taking time, but so helpful!"

"And currently (since December) been working with EC Synkowski 800 gram – which is trying to hit 800g of fruits and veggies per day, I roughly hit 500 grams. In 3 months I was able to drop 50 points in my cholesterol. I was 231 and I got it to 180. I also cut out/way back on red meat, deli meat and full fat cheeses. I was shocked such a slight change but being consistent made such a difference. She has a great podcast called OptimizeMe Nutrition. She's the best!"

"EC Synkowski i just wanted to give a shout out to you and this app! I’m loving it so far. As someone who has struggled with diet rules, and perfectionism and getting stuck in analysis paralysis and excuses – this has just simplified everything for me. I find myself mentally just getting into a better place with food. The daily information is great!"

"I second the thank you from Melanie! As a data lover and a Master class graduate I have been using a different app with quite a bit of detail in logging. I really appreciate the amount of data, but it sometimes it feels like a lot of commitment on the busiest days — which frankly means those are the days I am likely to skip logging.
 
When I first started the 800g level in this app a few weeks ago I was skeptical that it would have 'enough' detail, and I was craving the nuance of more precise logging. Then came vacation! The simplicity of logging really helped me be consistent and I found the cup/fist option to be a great tool. This encouraged better decision making this vacation and no need to 'get back on plan' because I just stayed the course.
 
Although I am looking forward to the additional precision that will be unlocked in the Lazy Macro and Three Pillar levels, the ease of being able to toggle back down to the simple 800g level is a great feature unique to this app. Well done EC!"

"I'm loving that I can track things like salad or veggie bowls with one entry. I made a custom 'salad' field and then I just put all the veggies in the bowl and weigh. Previously I would weigh each thing and that feels tedious and silly. So thanks for keeping things simple!"

"Really enjoying the bite-sized, methodical daily messages in the app. Just enough content for each day encourage consistency.
 
Also like that you're reading it, EC."

"Thanks EC for this app. I have been doing 800 grams/lazy macros for awhile using a different app and changing the settings but this app is exactly what I wanted. I tend to love to complicate the easy! 200 grams of fruits/vegetables x 4. Easy to track with the app. Thank you for simplifying this for me!"
