Mine would be to take at least a couple weeks to count calories so you get a better idea of how much you’re eating. People tend to not eat enough when “eating healthy” and tend to eat too much when just going by what they want.

Same, was just going to say this.
I watched a video on diets, where a dietician says >90% of the people who start diets, end up failing / not sticking with it. The few that manage to stick to it, are those who either 1) have a program of planned, consistent meals (jenny craig, weight watchers, etc), or those who strictly watch their calorie intake, and build habits to stick to it (almost always via calorie counting apps nowadays).
I started using a calorie-counting app, and a scale, and its been remarkably easy to decrease the amount of food I eat in meals, and watch how much snacks I’ve been eating. I don’t even deny myself these things, I just end up eating less of them to stay under my daily limit.
Yeah I do that as well, I just like to say “at least for a couple weeks” because it does give people a decent measuring stick. But ideally, just count em lol.
My problem with calorie counting apps is I have no idea what to input sometimes, especially when its a homecooked meal. What do I put? How do I measure my portions?
I do almost all homecooked meals. just measure the main ingredients, search for them, and put in their approximate quantities.
