I probably spend about 10 minutes a day tracking. I keep a textfile open and have a markup language for documenting what I eat and how I feel. I shy away from prepared food, both because it complicates analysis and because I've noticed it has a higher chance of causing negative effects. It's unavoidable sometimes though. If I have a brand or a restaurant I'll note that, but otherwise I mark the item with ???? to indicate it's uncontrolled. I spent a few weeks measuring everything so that I could build up an intuition. I can eyeball most things reasonably well. It's not perfect, but it's a good ball park figure which is all I really need for my analysis. The depth of the food tracking isn't too great, just food item, brand, quantity. I'm debating starting to track cooking method.
