Less calories means you will loose weight. Calories counting is considered bad and not sustainable.
I think dedication and self discipline is the most important lesson.
Good luck on your journey to stay fit and healthy, I'm on a similar path as yourself but not quite as successful.
- maqp 6y agoNobody wants to calculate everything from scratch again and again. Thus I wrote a program that does 99% of heavy lifting. It contains a database of ingredients I commonly use and their nutritional values. I have a set of recipes that I tend to make mostly the same way, the only thing that differs is the relative amount of ingredients that go into the sauce for example. I measure those when I meal prep, and then I only need to weigh the ~homogenic components of each portion. The program does everything else including macro tracking, daily weight loss estimates etc. This is extremely sustainable and it removes all of the guess work. So far it's been scarily accurate which in turn has kept motivation high.
- makach 6y agoWith practice you do get better at understanding the cost of the food you are processing. To me, using technical tools is very expensive in this process. It helps to begin with, but as soon as I have aquired necessary knowledge tech just gets in the way unless it is fully automated.
