In this Mini Mikkipedia episode, Mikki unpacks the real-world pros, cons and practicalities of food tracking. While macro counting is often sold as the “gold standard,” Mikki explains why tracking is less about complexity and more about the time, accuracy and skill required to do it well. She covers why beginners often underestimate the learning curve, how app databases can mislead, and why weighing food, logging extras and understanding raw versus cooked weights matter. The episode also explores the evidence around self-monitoring, adherence drop-off, photo-based tracking, and why consistency often matters more than perfection. Ultimately, tracking is framed as a tool, not a life sentence: useful for building food awareness, but not the only path to fat loss or maintenance.
