Those who use MFP/LoseIt and cook mostly homemade meals from scratch, tell me your secrets!

Hello! I have tried time and time again to log all my food on LoseIt or MPF in the hopes of losing weight. I have probably started and fallen off track 8+ times in the past 5 years. The major thing that gets me stuck is logging all the recipes we make. We don't have a set rotation of food and like to experiment with new ideas so I am always typing more recipes in than using old ones. It just gets tiring I guess. I end up not doing it for a night and then lose track within days after. Same with weighing food out, although I know this is necessary to keep a good log of what I am eating. I eat healthily, but have trouble with portion controls with calorie heavy foods and snacking. I also get a little bit "perfectionist" with this and so it is hard to let go of making sure everything is weighed and portioned properly and then I give up if I forgot to weight things before cooking or before eating.

I am going to try logging again but could really use your tips and tricks with homemade meals specifically. I want to get back on track with this before June hits and I start working out again so that it is not too much change at once. I know this can be an important part of my weight loss journey, so any help is much appreciated! Thank you and wishing you the best at your own goals!
