I am curious why you say this. In my experience counting calories works great to put into perspective the caloric cost of everything you consume. You don't have to always do it, but do it for a while and you can eyeball pretty well if you can or cannot handle something in your diet.
- woodandsteel 8y agoBe aware of calorie content of different foods is essential for choosing a healthy diet. But what people usually mean by counting calories is setting a goal for how many calories you eat a day, and then eating only that much, even if it leaves you hungry. That does not work over the long term for most people. What does work much more often is focusing on eating foods that are filling but low or moderate in calories, and eating when hungry.
