How do you eat what you want and lose weight??

Balance and moderation. I eat pretty much what I want, just keeping to my calorie intake. Just eat more filling foods, I've neatly stopped the junk food that I was eating a lot of and am now eating more fruit/veg and protein. Stick close as possible to the macros.0

Another yogurt comment: 60 calories per yogurt? I assume it is fat-free with so few calories. Try 2% or even whole milk Greek yogurt. Lots of protein and some fat to keep you satisfied. You won't feel the need to eat 4 in one day, I promise.0

On that note, I avoid "fat free" foods (cheeses, yogurts, cookies, etc.) as I am always starving within 30 minutes of eating them. Allow yourself some fat to feel satisfied.0

my wife enjoys a cheeseburger just about every day.

I've been eating cadbury dark chocolate mini eggs literally every day for the past 2 weeks and have still been losing weight! I love those stupid things.
First of all, I exercise to get extra calories. I figure if I'm doing the work, I should get to treat myself. Second of all, I eat well during the rest of my day so that I can enjoy the treat. And lastly, I eat it in moderation. Instead of grabbing a handful of chocolate eggs, I count out 4 just to get my chocolate fix. I usually eat around 1600 calories a day and I have no problem fitting treats into my day.
There are certain foods I haven't really eaten much of, like pizza and fast food. I know that I *could* eat it once in a while, but to me I don't crave it enough to justify all the extra calories. I'd rather eat healthy meals and treat myself with chocolate. Or if I crave pizza, we do homemade pizza.0 -
I eat pretty much whatever I want. Moderation is definitely the key. If I want a cookie, then I'm going to spend the 200 calories on a cookie and make room for it. I'll also work it off at the gym or walk or run around the neighborhood.0
