My brother in christ, how much cognitive effort does it take to log a meal??

Cook a recipe that uses a cup of two different kinds of cheese, a couple handfuls of meat, some veggies and some pasta and bam, you're typing in the weight and looking up the calories per 100g and in the worst case doing the math yourself for like 6 different things.

Adds a huge overhead to cooking, adding friction to what is a good habit you wanna keep as easy to stick to as possible.
