I have also been using that app and I am very happy with the results. I had a couple of false starts, but now have gotten into a nice rhythm. The trick is to not judge or criticize yourself during data entry. Analysis is a completely separate phase.

Seeing a few months of data really helped me think differently about my diet. My mother programmed all her children to be "comfort eaters," and when I saw that the bulk of my too many calories were coming from "comfort foods," it helped me tackle the situations and stress responses that triggered non-nutritional eating.

I am not suggesting that MyFitnessPal is the only tool/process/technique that could lead one to these revelations. It is the tool that led me to those revelations, so I am a happy customer. (Also not affiliated.)
