Very cool! How did you get the idea?

Hi George, I'm joining you in this curiosity. Also a bunch of software developers here, interested in the same topic.

Thank you!

My primary dev machine is MacOS. I'm using generally VMWare or VirtualBox to virtualize Linux machines. I'm really frustrated with what they offer :)

Feedback link in the upper band does not work.

Putting in real project offers instead of lorem ipsum certainly would help. Most people are using websites like this to look for work. So why would they visit if there's no work in there, regardless of the features they find?

Good luck w/ your project!

Thanks! For me it's indeed a social activity :) Just as dining was (before I went on to practice intermittent fasting). Oh well :)

Which moment of the day do you use to log your food(s)? How did you learn to eyeball your food?

I actually burn more than that (I average somewhere above 3000kcal), but the 2600 that I mentioned is from mostly passive activities. Did you know that Nelson Mandela walked 7 miles in his cell every day? I don't think working at home should stop us from being more active.

Using http://www.myfitnesspal.com/tools/bmr-calculator, it seems that "by default I burn around" 1.9kcal per day. However I've found it quite easy to hack 700 of them into a day just by exercising for 10 minutes and having more walking meetings. In your case, do you consider walking exercising?

Very interesting! I've noticed that some people can just "keep it in their head" (including snacks) for 1-2 days. I guess their memory is much better than ours, heh! I enter it immediately after eating as well. But I use the mobile phone since I don't snack that much.

Why did you care about other people noticing the notebook?

So you prefer not to exercise to eating more and exercising?

Apparently that one was replaced by https://www.supertracker.usda.gov/default.aspx. So what is your daily routine around that? When do you log your food?

What do you do when labels are not available? (e.g. eating out)

I personally use MyFitnessPal + some techniques to do food logging and get the calories burned from BodyMedia. How do you get your own calories burned?

Hip hip hurray :) uberVU employee here.
