How many of you accurately record what you're eating on a bulk?

I record my workout sessions to improve each time but do you do the same for what you eat?

I use my fitness pal and a workout log book.

Although I'm just starting lifting and as long as I hit full body / train 3/4 times a week sleep its easy to progress atm so quite encouraging having a log to see that progress!

OP here, we're in the same boat by the sounds of it.

Though the book I have is pic related, I'm wondering about recording the food. The workout is easy, I take the book with me to the gym with a pen but counting calories is different and harder to do.

How do you find my fitness pal? Did you record on paper before it?

I eat off a food scale pretty much. I used to use MFP until they made grams and tracking macros a premium feature. Now I just have a Google Docs spreadsheet. Took like a day to set up with a database with the nutrition information for the food I eat but it's even easier to use than MFP was now.

Do you worry much about not getting your calories accurately?

The way I'm seeing it I'll google nutrition for what I eat (eg, 100g beef calories, 1 banana calories, shit like that) or read the labels when possible and do it from there.

Though I fear I'll start to get anal about my extra 500 daily calories.

Speaking of, for a bulk it's about 18-20cal per pound of bodyweight right?

What are you talking about? I don't have premium and use grams in my tracking all the time. As for the macros you have to set your goals by the percentage but they still tell you how much is in the food you're eating.

Which is useless if you want to tailor a diet.

Calculate your TDEE and add a calorie surplus 500. Weigh yourself daily and compare weekly averages. If you gain more than 1lb a week, take off 100 calories and if you gain less then add 100.

Seems a bit broad, but it's better than what I'm doing now.

Though I live in a land if enlightened kilograms, not heathenous "pounds".

not that guy, but i don't see the problem.
just set your percentages around where your personal goal would be and you're good to go.

How? You put in how many calories you would like to consume. It asks you how you'd like to divide the carbs, fat and protein. Literally all it does is determine when a little number at the bottom turns red. It's not going reach out and smack your hand for going over one macro.
