I had been tracking food for a couple of weeks, but decided I wanted to stop focusing on calories and counting. I read some books on mindful eating and in one of them it said to track what you eat and why you eat it. I did not feel like keeping a notebook with me all the time, so I found this app: ate
This is what it says on their website: "It’s visual, mindful, and non-judgmental.
Instead of calories, we focus on how meals make you feel."
I just tracked my first day (I had some fishchips at lunch ad well that aren't in the picture) and it felt quite positive.
I wanted to share with you because I know a lot of people here want to be more mindful about eating. I also know some of you don't want to track calories because of (previous) eating disorders and this might help..
New app to log food (positive approach!)
