I quickly got sick of calorie counting. It got me thinking about food way too much (while hungry) when I do better not thinking about it. What I needed was very simply to be ok with the feeling of hunger. Whenever I felt hungry I would automatically head to the kitchen to look for something to snack on. Now I generally eat pretty fixed calorie meals - 100-200 for breakfast for example and when I get hunger in between I just remind myself that I’m not on the verge of dying in the wilderness and that I can wait an hour for lunch. I also replaced any snacks and beers in the house with dried fruit, nuts, seltzer water because I know I’m lazy and will pick the easiest thing
