"The most important thing you can do to lose weight"

This reminds me of the British tv show secret eaters.
It doesn't include double labeled water or metabolic rate testing, but rather tracks actual food consumption.

It tracks people who claim to only eat 1000-2000 calories but are unable to lose weight. They put up cameras in their houses so they can see how much they eat, plus let PI's track them (without) their knowledge to see if and when they get fasfood and takeout.
It really under scribes the fact that people often under estimate their calorie consumption. Many of the people on that show eat 3000 calories easily, with the occasional 6000 calories after sunday family lunch/dinner.

Partly because they DRINK so much that they don't count, as I recall!

Any tips for a volume eater. I would really like some more popcorn. 1 bag skinny pop leaves me wanting more. I could eat a grocery bag full right now. Any suggestions for volume eater?

As per the thread's OP, log everything you eat as accurately as possible. If you're hungry, reassess the deficit you're trying to maintain. If you're not hungry and are struggling to stop eating, seek help with emotional eating. None of this should be any different for a volume eater vs. any other kind of eater.

I weigh everything to the gram or millilitre for fear of getting it wrong

And this thread reassures that I made a good decision!

I have never denied that the reason I was obese and now am overweight - no, TOO FAT!! Why are we beating about the bush here? - is because I overeat. Why do others stuff their face then deny it?? I like all the wrong food, ie rubbish, chocolates, cakes, sugar laden desserts, in quantity. I can't eat only, one chocolate, one small slice of cake I stuff! The only way I can curb my appetite is by calorie counting and tracking calories plus not lie to myself or anyone else.

The above conversations has given me some ideas regarding the calorie balance.
