Counting calories

I normally like to look at the calorie content of what I'm eating. Before I never did and just ate whatever I felt like eating but recently I guess I have become more concerned with self image and I would like to stay healthy and at a good weight so I do look at them. I don't try and restrict the foods I eat but awareness of what you're eating is always good. If I'm given the option between two appealing foods but one has significantly lower caloric content then I will definitely go with the one with lower calories. It's never bad to at least be a little mindful in my opinion and that's great that your husband is doing that to keep in shape. I wish him luck on his test!

I know that there are a lot of people that will count the calories of every single thing that they put into their bodies. However, this is not something that has ever worked for me. For me, I find that the method that works the best is to eat what I want to eat when I want to eat it, but I also have to always realize that I do need to eat those things in moderation. I've been able to lose a lot of weight using a moderation method as opposed to using an elimination method.

I do try to count and see if i can keep my calories intake lower and so i would know what i need to do more so i could lose those extra pounds!! arghhhh

At the moment, I don't really count my calories. I pretty much just eat when I'm hungry and eat what I'm in the mood for. I used to count calories a lot, but I've really gotten away from it. I probably should start doing it again, but I just am not very disciplined at the moment. It is definitely really helpful for losing weight though, and it has helped me to lose some in the past. I think it's probably one of the most effective ways to lose weight.

I don't count the calories since I am already thin. It is too hard for me to pull on weights no matter how much I eat. Whereas my husband is the opposite. It is easy for him to gain more weights. He doesn't count on the calories anyway. Sometimes he will just try to eat less or do more exercises. But it is not so helpful anyway.

I don't actually count the calories that I eat everyday, but I do know that at least five of the week days I eat under what they say that you should eat, mainly because I am busy working and don't have much time to eat. I do check on food stuffs how many calories there are in some foods and if I think there is too many claories then I won't eat that food. I hope your husband is doing well and gets into shape for his fitness test.
