I haven't read the entire thread, so forgive me if you talked about it. I'm sure there are many apps to do this, but my experience was with the My Fitness Pal app https://www.myfitnesspal.com/. It has a learning curve, like anything, but it's easy once you get used to it. I used it religiously until I got a good handle on portions/nutrition/calories, etc. I don't use the app anymore.
I'm lucky and don't have much of a weight problem, and I'm in the gym before work. However, I still put on unwanted pounds, but I don't do anything about it until my pants become uncomfortable. I am cheap in that respect and refuse to buy clothes to accommodate new girth. My diet is simple when I am on a mission to drop weight. I can eat as much as I want, whenever I want, as long as it is a single ingredient. It's good to go if it walks, swims, etc., or grows in, on, or above the ground, and nothing can be processed. The part about eating as much as I want and whenever is mostly a mental thing, so I don't fixate on time between meals or fear starving myself. A diet that works for one may not work for another.
