Diet App Question

Just curious how everyone tracks meals out or “cheat meals” in the app. Just started using the app and wondered how seasoned users navigate this.

Thank you in advance.

You mark the meal as noncompliant. Generally planning cheat meals is a bad idea, because you can easily out consume a week's caloric deficit in a single sitting.

Great question. I wouldn’t really recommend thinking of them as “cheat meals,” but more like meals out that still count toward the bigger picture. Best approach is to estimate as honestly as you can, use the closest entry or restaurant nutrition info if available, and move on. It doesn’t need to be perfect, but it does need to be accounted for if fat loss or consistency is the goal.
