I don't like to track either, but using an on-line tracker for a few weeks helped me get an idea of what I needed to eat to stay within my preferred ratio. Now, I have a general outline in my head of what I'm going to eat at what time, and then substitute in whatever fits (i.e. afternoon snack is always fruit and protein, today it's a pear and mixed nuts, tomorrow it may be grapes and string cheese) Also, if you stick to eating clean (as hard as that can be for us people with a sweet tooth!) you'll find that you crave the baked good sweets less. I am actually really good at passing up doughnuts now, I just don't want them - this was completely unheard of 6 months ago!
