Not the OP, but: to me the cut point was when I started writing the calories down.
After some time (a week?) you get a pretty good idea of what takes what. An apple is 100. "Boring foods" like boiled potatoes are circa 100 calories per 100 grams. "Fun foods" like chicken breast or ikea meatballs are 200 calories per 100 grams. Oil - 10 calories per ml.
And then you look at <younameit> cheesy crackers and realize that something is wrong: no way 30 grams of human food should be 200 calories.
- mrfusion 6y agoIt’s a good way to look at things. Someone on HN said you’ll easily lose weight if you stick to foods less than one calorie per gram. I believe it but I can’t find many foods ...
