Thanks Liz for adding additional insight. I think the real benefit of tracking on fitday is in the beginning of a low carb diet, many decisions about what foods to eat may be wrong. What we "think" is low carb, may in fact not be.

Once you're really into this, and have a good idea of what foods you can fill up on, tracking your intake shouldn't be necessary. I found that some of my choices were less than ideal.

Example, thinking that all cheese is acceptable, would be a major mistake. Some brands of cottage cheese, have up to 10 grams of carbs per one cup serving. That's half of your carb allowance for a full day on induction.

Hope this helps.
