Just starting to record food in an app made a huge difference for me, I was working out pretty aggressively and making progress on lifting/biking but my weight wasn't moving until I started recording calories. I still have days where I go over by a lot, but grazing was the number one behavior that improved out of just laziness. Recording 8 Oreos, one at a time across a day, is annoying. I've lost 27 pounds across the past two years, pretty consistently/slowly (with a few backslides).

My average calorie deficit on a daily basis is probably 100-150 calories max which is barely noticeable (I'm never hungry) but the app does prevent erasing that by eating 2 cookies at 1 am when I'm not actually hungry.
