Do you count calories?

[AnthonyPaolucci95]

I track 1500 calories (along with the nutrients) Monday-Friday to be healthy and organized. On Saturday and Sunday I won't count calories just to give myself a break from tracking everything.

Yes

No

[spuitkaas]

Used to but it doesn't work for me that well. It makes me eat even more, because I constantly think about food and made me feel a bit down since I suddenly couldn't eat as much as I wanted.
Sometimes I eat greasy food, but then I automatically eat less the rest of the day. Like I can eat a bounty for lunch and that would be the only thing I eat then till dinner. with calorie counting, I wouldn't even eat that bounty and if I did, I would feel guilt and later eat something again because food is on my mind.
My way to stay on healthy weight is to stay active and constantly do something so my mind won't think about food.

How the hell do people managed to track it? Like honestly tho, is there an app or something? I have a friend that counts and track her calories intake and it annoys me because sometimes I cook dinner for us and she'd tell me I don't want to eat cause it'll exceed the calories intake and I'm like wtf -_-

And I don't track mine, obviously.

[AnthonyPaolucci95]

There are many apps for calorie counting, but I use CalorieCount. com to track and record everything I eat. Tracking calories can get annoying, that is why I don't count on weekends as previously mentioned above. Does your friend have days where she doesn't count so you can cook dinner for you two without her worrying about it?

[Justsomeguy9814]

@mskay don't track you kcal track it as macros instead so much easier just follow the guidelines of 1g of carbs or protein is 4 kcal and 1 gram of fat is 9

[blue_sun]

Very loosely. If I eat something, I'll glance at the box real quick to make sure it isn't horrible, and I'll add it together in my head very loosely. I try to keep under 2300 calories per day, but I don't put too much effort into it.

I started at the beginning of the year but now I have exams for uni so it's been about 2 weeks I've stopped. I'm not a stress eater but I was like. Give me a break I have exams I don't have time to count them lol. I'll probably start after exams start

I did it for about 6 months my freshmen year of college (jan into june). I started losing weight (noticed in fall semester) and it freaked me out lol i started counting calories to see how much I was eating (the first month) and then over time tried to raise it a little each week. I averaged around 2200 calories a day. I was trying to gain weight and I failed haha I gave up that summer and I haven't gained or lost any weight since then & that was 3 years ago.

[Prettygurl12]

I have been tracking my calories for four years now.

I had to do it for a class Freshman year of college and I just never stopped.

I've eaten a grand total of 1,292 calories today :p

[AnthonyPaolucci95]

I have only been doing it for about a year now and it just became such a habit and really helped me make more healthier choices in what I consume. Do you have a calorie goal that you try and reach every day?

[Prettygurl12]

I'm trying to stay at 1200. Except today I ate cake. Lots of cake. And I'm gluten intolerant so then I had a stomach ache. But the cake was oh so good.

[AnthonyPaolucci95]

I like cake as well, but I rarely ever eat it. I have to be in a sweets kind of mood to have cake because it taste great, but then I also usually get a stomach ache from it later.

[Prettygurl12]

I'm more of a pie person, but my friend's birthday was a couple days ago and they got her a giant sheet cake. Even though it's just her lol So I've been helping. It's gonna make me fluffy lmao

[AnthonyPaolucci95]

I'm more of a pie person as well. My favorite is Banana Cream Pie, but hey cake won't make you fluffy if you usually eat 1200 calories. It's nothing to worry about.

[Prettygurl12]

Haha you underestimate how much I can eat! It's like, with sweets... the calorie counting goes out the window! I don't have the ability to eat "one" cookie. I have to eat them all. It's terrible lmao

[ihatethiswebsite]

I've ate like 2,800 calories today and it sucks to eat that much lol

[AnthonyPaolucci95]

Well I might not have as strong of a sweet tooth as you, but on some weekends I can eat so much. I can probably eat a lot of pizza, burgers, cheese fries, etc. All food that is non healthy, but hey I just can't resist sometimes you know.

[Justsomeguy9814]

@ihatethiswebsite try eating 3600-3800 that really sucks

[Dtegesd123]

dammm, you eat less than my ex girlfriend and she was only 110 pounds.

But yeah I run a rough estimate of each meal. So around 800 calories per meal, and 300 for snacks,

[Anonymous]

Nope. I eat what I can, and it's usually healthy anyways. If it tastes good, makes me feel good and I am able to get it or make it then that'll work for me!

[JayneW]

I track through the fitbit app on my phone and also track my exercise/steps.

[serious]

No, I don't but I am self aware of how much I eat in a day. I am very particular about my physique.

[iamshelly]

No, I don't. I eat whatever I feel like when I'm hungry, and stop when I'm full. Rinse and repeat.

[Anonymous]

I track mine, have too. Change it a lot too depending on goal and how well I'm gaining/losing dependant on whether I'm bulking or cutting then too

[BruceJender]

I eat 3000 calories a day, in a balanced diet... trying to gain weight.

[Yumix]

Nope but if I look down my body I maybe should start doing it..

[WhatTheHellAmy]

Yup, I eat around 2000, I want to gain weight

[soccerchick4eva]

[douride2]

I watch what I eat never count calories though.

[ConsultantIsBack]

When I'm trying to pack on new mass, yes.

[Iron_Man]

Not now at times I have

[2014raser]

Nah, to me it's pointless.

[IgnacioNova]

No I track saturated fat, sugar and salt.

[dandysandy]

I count carbs

[Anonymous]

No.. I find counting calories difficult

[AnthonyPaolucci95]

Its not that hard. There are many apps that you can use to track calories.

[PLLFan21]

[Ihav2fart]
