When to stop tracking

• Tracking makes you anxious, irritable, or preoccupied throughout the day.
• You restrict below your computed target "just to be safe".
• You avoid social meals, travel, or situations because tracking feels impossible there.
• You experience guilt, shame, or binge-restrict cycles around tracking.
• You have a personal or family history of eating disorders.
