I made an account for beeminder for something else, but I didn’t develop a habit of actually recording things on a day to day basis. Starting that, especially during the holidays, is difficult.
I just noticed that I’m making excuses to not do things that I should probably do. I’m going to search the app store for something that does this easily from my phone because I always have my phone on me and am always deedling on it.
Searching the app store I’m finding that the apps probably mostly aren’t appropriate for me, in that I don’t have specific goals or want to lose weight; I just want to shift my snacking away from things like reese’s pieces and towards things like salads. But given that I am already looking for excuses not to do anything I’m just going to download the highest rated free app and start using it as much as I can, and then I’ll see what happens. Better than doing nothing.
You can add data to beeminder by sending an email. This may be slightly too cumbersome for “each and every snack” but isn’t bad. I’m sure it could be wrapped in something even easier, but… yeah.
EDIT: eh, apologies for the unsolicited other-optimising. I really need to stop doing that.
I’ve been using Noom recently. It’s a weightloss app but I’m finding it to have a decent level of granularity for food logging and it nags you every 4 hours or so if you haven’t logged anything in that time, which can be either a good or a bad thing depending on how often you expect to have food to record. I pretty much entirely ignore all the other stuff it wants me to do.
