Daily Percentage Beats Calories

Counting every single calorie is exhausting. We've all been there—scanning barcodes, weighing broccoli, and stressing over a single almond. It's time for a better way.

Traditional calorie counting focuses on the math of weight loss while ignoring the psychology of eating. When you see your day as a collection of numbers, food becomes an enemy to be managed rather than fuel to be enjoyed. This is where the Fogyo Visual Percentage Method changes the game.

"Weight loss is 20% math and 80% habit. Fogyo focuses on the 80%."

The Burden of Accuracy

The problem with calorie counting isn't just that it's boring—it's that it's often wrong. Laboratory tests show that calorie labels on food can be off by up to 20%. When you spend your energy trying to be 100% accurate with 80% accurate data, you're setting yourself up for burnout.

Fogyo shifts the focus from "How many calories are in this?" to "How does this fit into my day?". By using AI to categorize your meals into a daily percentage limit, you get a visual representation of your progress that your brain can actually process.

Why it works:

  • Reduces decision fatigue by simplifying choices.
  • Visual progress provides instant dopamine rewards.
  • Allows for flexible eating without the guilt of "failing" a number.

Sustainable Habits Over Math

Real results come from consistency. Most people stop counting calories within the first 14 days because the friction is too high. Fogyo's "point, snap, and forget" approach reduces that friction to near zero.

When logging a meal takes 2 seconds instead of 2 minutes, you're 10x more likely to stick with it for the long term. And in the world of weight loss, longevity is the only thing that matters.
