That's fair, if that needs to happen. I found my caloric considerations where my tracking - I built a spreadsheet where I input values so I could track my daily allotment as I ate. I always tracked it before I ate it.

I worry that daily tracking could be discouraging or introduce maldaptive behaviour - you went up a lbs since yesterday, but that's because your morning poop wasn't as productive as it usually is, and now you feel like you need to go more extreme to make up for it the rest of the day.
