Stopped Drinking Alcohol

Don’t want to veer too off topic, but seeing some people mentioning weight loss. In a similar vein to this thread - except I’ve been sort of trying to do the opposite - maintain weight.

I think in cutting out alcohol, snacks, etc. it might be worth using an app to track food to make sure you’re eating enough. I recently started using one again. The first time I used it was to try and lose weight. But as I have been averaging 11-13,000 kj a week and no longer drinking or snacking nearly as much, I started to worry I’m running too extreme of a deficit.

It might be worth it as an experiment for a week or two to track if you don’t? I discovered I was often undereating, and I have found the process fun (and hard) to try and hit my daily goal. The alcohol wasn’t beneficial, but maybe those calories were.
