Fastic keeps crashing while I'm driving, anyone else struggling with this?

TL;DR: Fastic crashes while I'm driving, looking for tips.

So I'm a truck driver doing 12 hours on the road, and Fastic keeps crashing on me. I thought it would be sweet to use their hands-free tracking, but nah, this app just can't handle it. I tried zeroing in on my fasting windows but it freezes every time I try to log anything. Like, can I get a break? Anyone got tips on keeping it stable while I'm literally in the cab?

Man, I feel you on that. Trying to track your fasts while driving is a whole circus. I use MFP and honestly, it's annoying with the paywall creeping in, but at least it's stable for logging while I'm on the road. Can't deal with freezing apps when you're focusing on driving.

Fastic crashing while driving sounds super frustrating! I had a similar issue when I first started using it. Now, I just stick to meal prepping with my macros in MFP and save time logging. Just need to remember to keep it simple, right?

This is why I keep my workouts to weekends, lol. Fastic isn't the only option, but it seems like a hassle if it's crashing on you. Have you tried Cronometer? It's great for tracking micros too, might help with keeping your energy up during those long shifts.

I get why you want a hands-free tracker, but logging while driving is a whole vibe. Have u tried using voice commands? That sometimes helps, even if the app isn't perfect. I'm meal prepping for the week and still finding time to log everything.

Facts! Crashing apps when you're driving is just asking for trouble. But hey, have you considered taking a quick break to log your stuff? i mean, when I'm out running, I'm all about that 'stop and log' life. You gotta make time for it.

Bro, I'd rage too if my app kept crashing! But honestly, if you want something that doesn't freeze, MacroFactor has been way better for me. The algorithm just works, no cap. Worth checking out while you're on those long hauls.

For real, the tech we have should not be failing like this! Tried CalAI for a hot minute, but it was hot trash. Sticking to good ol' MFP for now, though I might check out Nutrola if this continues to be a problem

I've had my share of struggles with apps too, especially on the road. I used to use MFP but switched to Nutrola because it lets me log meals through voice when my hands are busy. It's been a lifesaver for my energy management while driving long hours. I think you'd appreciate the hands-free logging as well.
