I’ve tried calorie counting a few times and it’s a pain in the butt. I make a lot of my own food, so I need to calculate the total calorie value of the meal, and then figure out what percentage I ate.
Yep like the other comment said there are ways around that and also there’s definitely a threshold of accuracy. Make your recipe close enough and save it for next times then just estimate the amount you had, close enough is definitely good enough.
Not necessarily it just means you need to weigh your main ingredients. I never said it was gonna be a walk in the park and that you can lose the weight without making any effort or adjustments to your diet and way of cooking, obviously the counting is just a tool to understand and visualise your calorie intake, it’s still up to you to adapt what you cook and eat.
My Fitness Pall has a pretty decent built-in library. Just weigh your ingredients and say what they are. It also has a barcode scanner, and a meal-portion/recipe option where you can just say you had a portion of a certain dish.
I used to use the recipe thing a LOT, but it helps if your standpoint is that “within 100 calories is accurate enough”.

Although it’s a good way to deter snacking.

That requires one to use a written recipe and not freehand cooking meals with whatever you have on hand
