I'm a quantified self geek. I have been logging my food for 7 months now (almost daily), and I would like to hear more about your experience doing that.
How are you logging the food? When do you log your food? How do you manage through weekends or vacations? What about estimating the quantity of food?
I'd use cronometer.com everyday and try to always get the calorie counts right (didn't care so much about other metrics). My margin of error was around 50 calories/day (figured out by comparing with expected weight loss). The thing is after around 2 months I developed a fairly good intuition and just didn't need to use the software anymore.

I personally use MyFitnessPal + some techniques to do food logging and get the calories burned from BodyMedia. How do you get your own calories burned?
I used to use mypyramidtracker but I'm not sure if that exists anymore.
I pick a macro plan (protein/fat/carbs), then eat according to my macros for each meal. So I set them prior, then just count them via the labels.
My Samsung phone came with some "S Health" software preinstalled. Has a pedometer, an exercise tracker and a food log. Not the most complete food database, but seems to work fine. I used to use mypyramidtracker but I'm not sure if that exists anymore.

I don't exercise, slightly adjusted BMR x 1.2 pretty much worked.

So you prefer not to exercise to eating more and exercising?
