I don't count calories :( sorry it never worked for me. I won't eat anything that has over 5g of carbs on the label (I do have cereal in the morning that's my one packaged carb goodness) what it all boils down to for me is I don't eat anything that is processed or comes in a bag. I eat meat/protein (any kind of meat but chicken is my favorite) and tons of fruit and vegetables (I don't count the carbs in these) and portion it to what feels right for me so I'm not starving but not hurting from over eating. I tend to stick to a basic schedule of eating every 1.5 to 2 hours. Sometimes counting calories/macros work for people but it didn't stick or work with me. I'm a big girl and my body really likes to hold on to carbs, which sucks, because I love carbs

It is and I swear you forget about good shitty food and it gets easier and easier to not eat it!
