This feels like this fills the void between people who don't care about calories and people who really care about calories. I know people (read: myself) who are too lazy to measure everything down the milligram and just want an order or magnitude sense of calorie intake.

I agree that this can be useful for this use-case. Right now I'm bulking so it's more important for me to have a general "good estimate" of my calories and macros over a week, rather than a hyper-refined daily view, where I need a granularity of 100 calories or I haven't lost weight that day.

For my situation, it's more about "damn, I ate 1000 calories over last week, oh wow lol it's because I got super stoned on friday and ate half a pizza, ok, so next week eat 2 eggs instead of 3 for breakfast to make up for it." This app definitely wouldn't work for a cut, though, because I need my measuring cups and spoons to do that right.
