  Have you ever kept a log of the food you eat in a day? Admittedly I come at this from a very different perspective being obese, and having been much more obese in the past, but actively logging my food and retrospectively calculating calories gave me a much better sense of how much I was actually eating. When you've recorded some data on that it would be productive to calculate your basal metabolic rate, which are the calories your body uses on the daily (so any exercise adds on to that). Comparing those two figures might be productive. Of course there may be genetic factors going on but perception is so powerful it's the first thing I'd question

  My experience with obese people in my family is that the most consistent theme is quantity. If you're eating 1,000 calorie meals and don't work out all the time you're going to be obese no matter what you're eating. Sugar and carbs definitely help pack the calories, but I've seen people eat 1,000 calorie salads.
