I did what you did at one point in my life. In fact, I got perversely granular.
It's not sustainable unless you have a very real mental condition. I think Withings is compatible with a number of apps such that you should't have to enter anything into it to have it tracked.
Food is notoriously difficult to track, and even harder to accurately quantify. A burger and fries meal at one place could be +/- 500 kilocalories despite looking the same. After a while I determined food tracking to only be worthwhile at high level - ie, "ate burger" - rather than to do the legwork necessary to get accurate kilocalorie counts.

And fairly easy to estimate if you're eating out. I've tracked ~96% of my meals for the last 3ish years. As well as my weight every morning. It takes an extra 10 minutes max per day, the benefits of the data is well worth my time.
- nkozyra 11y agoThat was somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but I mentioned it because it requires tireless devotion to get right, for ultimately not that much payoff. I did it for five years and I don't think there was much benefit over writing down what I ate.
