Since nobody has mentioned it yet, there's a diet called "The Hacker's Diet" [0] that is based upon this calorie in/out theory. The website also has a simple webapp where you can create your own chart to track your weight.
Personally I think this is a great way to control your weight. The diet doesn't say anything about what to eat, just how much (in calories). It doesn't necessarily make it easier, but it does give you constant feedback, which can help you stay motivated.

- logfromblammo 12y agoThat's great as a measurement regime and daily exercise program. But you will also need to follow a food composition diet that helps you to keep your "eat watch" calibrated correctly. This will vary by individual, and may require some experimentation. Fresh, intact fruits and vegetables are often the foods highest in satiety per absorbed kilocalorie, but there's only one person that has your brain connected to your guts. You may find that hard-boiled eggs do the trick for you. Or guacamole. Or olives and feta cheese. Whatever it takes to reprogram your "eat watch" to alert in a way that helps you shed fat instead of gaining it.

- induscreep 12y agoDiets are more about getting people to not feel hungry. This is done by reducing carbs, and increasing fat/protein. So, people won't "feel hungry" on a low carb diet, and thus, they are less likely to binge or gorge on some snack.
