The log
I'm using notch myself.
A 12-week weight-loss plan. Daily weight and calorie logging. Weight tracked on Hacker's Diet Online with its trend filter. No diet, no gimmick, just consistency and monitoring the trend.

The research
Frequency matters.
Frequency matters.
Accuracy, it turns out, is secondary.
"The accuracy and completeness of self-monitoring diaries are not as important as the frequency with which they are completed. The act of self-monitoring consistently may be the key."— Harvey et al., Obesity, 2019
A systematic review of 22 studies found that more frequent self-monitoring was consistently and significantly associated with weight loss. Showing up daily with an honest estimate is what the evidence supports. notch is built on that finding.
The app you open
without dreading it.
Most calorie apps are abandoned because the overhead of logging exceeds the value of the log. notch removes the overhead. No bloat, no friction, nothing between you and the number. Open it, tap, move on.
