    I agree, which is exactly why I've taken a break from calorie counting to focus on intuitive eating and healthy eating. I was getting to the point where if I had calories left over I would be like HELL YEAH I CAN HAVE SOME COOKIES which completely defeated the purpose. Focusing in on quality rather than quantity has been really good for me. I may go back to counting, or I may not. Depends on how fast these last few pounds come off.

    I'm always sad for people who are like "Had fried chicken, so I can't eat anything else for the day." That's missing the point. If you're eating healthy foods, staying in your caloric range is really easy.
    I'm sad for people who feel that they can't eat foods that they love, but are stuck thinking that "healthy eating" will get them healthy and is the only way to lose weight. For REAL.

    or you can just add in extra time at the gym to account for it and still have all of the calories you are used to having for the rest of the day.

    Sometimes, but you really can't out-train a bad diet...

    one's diet is only bad -- assuming proper nutrient needs are being met -- if you have too many calories to either maintain or lose. otherwise, it's just eating food.

    I never suggested otherwise.
