Tracking accuracy

How accurate does restaurant nutrition tracking need to be?

Consistent logging with approximate numbers outperforms precise logging that gets abandoned. A food log that is 70% accurate for three months produces more useful data than a perfect log kept for two weeks.

Adherence is the variable that moves outcomes, not decimal-point accuracy. If your tracking habit holds, slightly imprecise numbers will still show you patterns, highlight your best choices, and nudge your eating in a better direction over time.
