You will need to weigh your food on a food scale and input everything you eat into your tracking diary. If you choose to make complex recipes you will have to utilize the recipe builder. To understand how to do this, there are many tutorials on YouTube where the process is explained. Click here for the Cronometer YouTube channel.

Daily bodyweight data should be taken in the morning before food and entered daily, along with the macros you made that day, as well as your hydration and sleep. 

Optimally we want to see you within +/- 5 grams on your proteins and carbs and +/- 3 grams on fats, every day.

Getting adequate dietary fiber and adequate hydration are both tools we can use to help us lose weight. Plain water, herbal tea (hot or iced) and no calorie sparkling water like La Croix all count. Caffeinated drinks and sugary drinks do not. Hydration aids in breaking up fat tissue so get your water in!
