I have tracked calories in the past. At some point I developed some sort of intuition about how much food I can have and what foods I should prefer and stopped counting.
I managed to look my best ever by doing that. But that's not the point. The point is that not counting obsessively is liberating.
If you are counting the calories of 20 grams of potatoes you're worrying too much.

- Swizec 8y agoYeah but check this out: https://gyrosco.pe/swizec/8825e3a2-96e9-11e8-a492-061afa5c8ce7/bodyfat365/2018/07/01/ https://gyrosco.pe/swizec/8825e3a2-96e9-11e8-a492-061afa5c8c... From about 16% bodyfat to about 11% in the past year.
