I would say without ever giving it much thought I am somewhat of a mindless eater. I find it interesting that you found FitDay to be a PITA. I would say my mindless eating actually makes FitDay very easy to use. I would guess when "eating clean" my diet is made up of about 20 different foods. I have entered most of what I eat as "custom foods." The others are almost always on my "recent" list. I would say in a typical "good eating" week I have to search for a food on FitDay only 2 or 3 times. Why do I track my food? I like to watch my macro breakdown to keep it were I like it. After reading your post I realized that my daily intake almost always lands in my macronutrient range without thinking about it. Kind of mindless I guess. However, a bigger reason for me is to make sure I eat enough. When I eat cleanly I usually have to make myself eat to hit my target calories. I can usually tell by 2-3 pm if I'm gonna be low and I'll kick it up a bit.
I guess I'm kind of a Mindless/FitDay hybrid.
