Just tracking my calories opened my eyes

[Ron]

I started just tracking my calories . I didn't do it for any real reason except to find out where I stand. I've been eating double, sometimes triple what I should in a day! I need to get things sorted out. No wonder I can't lose! I highly recommend using a calorie tracker for a few days. you'll learn so much about your habits!

I know what you mean! I'm not tracking right now, but I do every now and again, and whenever I think I'm pretty sure I can just ballpark it in my head instead of using a tracker, I always surprise myself at how off the mark I am, both by overestimating AND underestimating!

I started tracking my calories last week and one of my dinners had 1,100 more calories in it than I had expected
