Can anyone suggest an eating plan to follow that is easy, filling, and low calorie?

Even with experiencing logging, some people might struggle to consistently distinguish 3/4 of an ounce of cheese from 1 ounce or 5 ounces of meat from 6. "Portion drift" is a real thing and many of us lack eyeballs that double as accurate weight scales.

I think it's great this works for you, but I think we should acknowledge that there are some people also find long-term success by continuing to use tools to accurately measure portion size and to log their meals.

I would say tracking macro's is actually very important for certain people. In the end whatever works best for each individual. I do agree with you. I'm currently measuring and accounting for everything (even 4 pieces of pork rinds), as I enjoy doing it right now, and it's helping me stay motivated. Should I loose the enthusiasm for tracking at some point, I also hope I don't sweat it and take it as a sign of defeat. Again whatever keeps you motivated and positive.

I absolutely love Skinnytaste.com She was a blogger who is now published.. She's been cooking tasty recipes making them lower calories for years. I find the recipes delicious. She has a laid out recipe plan you can follow. I'd check that out.. especially if you want tasty satisfying food.

how will you keep it off once (if) you lose it?

You don't learn anything by letting someone else do all the work for you.

my sister, for example, went to a fat camp in her early 20s. lost weight. came home, gained it all back plus some. she didn't learn anything. someone else was doing all the work of meal planning, prepping, and calorie counting.

Have a look at Freshly. It's not cheap but it offers prepared delivered meals that you only need to heat and eat.
