I'm tracking similar things (food, water, medication, spending, location, sleep, steps, heart rate, hygiene, time).

- I track my computer usage with RescueTime and my Chrome history. - I track my non-cash spending using Mint. - I track my sleep, steps, and heart rate using a smartband. - I track my food and cash spending by taking pictures (item and receipt) - I track my time by completely filling my Google Calendar (rounding to the nearest 15 minutes). - I track everything else using a timestamped journal app.

How much work does it take you to track all of this? I'm especially interested in how you track nutritional values, as I've tried MyFitnessPal in the past but quickly gave up.

I'm looking for ways to automate/delegate/facilitate my tracking process. I think this is data everyone should know about themselves, but I can't recommend most people to track all of this because it takes too much work.

I took me about 20-30 minutes every evening, except morning weighing on scale and tracking my work.

Nutritional is written down on simple spreadsheet. One big table with row like: name, weight, calories, fat, carbons, proteins, salt. Many of the products have nutrition table, rest is easy to find on sites like [1]. Also, after some time you can copy and paste most of the rows.

Every day is summed up and compared to ideal diet and weight change of next day.
