Guides by topic

The same writing, grouped by what it is about rather than when it was published.

How close these estimates really are, where they go wrong, and how much of it matters.

What AI genuinely does well in a calorie tracker, and which claims are marketing.

Targets, timelines and the arithmetic underneath weight loss, without the false precision.

What to look at before you commit, and the features that turn out not to matter.

Diwali, weddings, sweets and drinks: the days a normal plan does not cover, and how to log them anyway.

The part nobody writes about. Why tracking falls apart in week two, and what makes it survive instead.

Food with no label, no barcode and no standard serving. The majority of most people's calories.

Roti, dal, sabzi, chai and thali: the meals mainstream calorie trackers handle worst, and how to log them anyway.

Protein, carbs and fat: what to set them to and how much the split actually changes.

How to actually do it: what to log, what to skip, and how to get a full day down to a sentence or two.

Estimating serving sizes without a food scale, in the units people actually think in.

How much you need, where to get it, and why it is the one macro worth being deliberate about.

Numbers to look things up against. Ranges rather than single figures, because home cooking has no standard serving.

Timelines, the scale, and what a realistic rate of loss actually looks like week to week.
