Great progress and tips! We're developing a "MyFitnessPal + UberEats" food delivery service that automatically counts calories and macros here in Shanghai, where ~16 million people order their food instead of cooking or eating out. I wonder why nobody did this in the Bay Area at least? Is it generally lower penetration of food delivery? Or gathering the data is just too much work? It's easier here with Chinese food: orders naturally consist of 2-3 dishes at least, and for 2-3 people it can be 5-6 dishes, making it possible for us to pick a right "combo" for the right macros. I think with Western food, most people would stick to one dish with a side, which is much harder to "configure" and meet the right target.
Also, of course, even a modest amount of exercise will kick off metabolic processes that speed up weight loss, not mentioning that increasing muscle mass will naturally increase the basal metabolic rate. Weight lifting routines like 5x5 or Greyskull LP can be squeezed into 20-30 minutes every other day, and provide lasting benefits almost immediately.
