    If you're struggling with your weight, then it's a good idea to count calories.

    After awhile, you will become so good at it that you can estimate total calories simply by sizing a meal up.

    I used to be sort of against it because it can be anxiety causing for people, but I've been super super meticulous about it for a couple days now and it can be really empowering! For example, when I first started counting, I realized that I wasn't eating enough at all! I really had no idea. And I was having bowls of pasta that were about 800 calories without even realizing it.. so even if you don't do it forever, it's super good to do it for a couple weeks and see what you discover.
