Maintaining but no logging what i eat at all

I don't log. But it took me about 2 years to learn how to eat intuitively and listen to my body cues when unhappy/full/bloated and to understand how much food I need for MY diet, and find other ways. simple example, i use a different (smaller) plate for my food when plating mine and my husbands meals. I will of course have a smaller portion this way. But after a while you become a human calorie calculator... i always have an approximate count for the day going in my head after so long logging, without meaning to! Works for me though, i'll only log to check stuff now, like a new meal i've made where i'm not sure on the fat content etc or if i want to focus on one nutritional goal then i'll use this for that. Hope this gives an insight!

When I first saw people talking about using smaller plates my thought was, "there's no way that can work," but after I bought a set of 9" plates and tried it, I found that it really does help.
