It's actually not terribly difficult with modern conveniences like apps and it'll give you a *much* better idea of consumption than just winging it; most people in the US would be in shocked denial if they tracked their consumption for a week. The other nice thing about app-based tracking is that you'll have an idea of your macros, too - probably a good idea if you're looking to maintain muscle mass while cutting body fat. One of my buddies did the typical denial mode diet and he dropped a ton of weight... but now he's skinny fat, if you know what I mean.
