Counting Calories

Question: So I started eating clean and have been going strong for a few days but I stopped counting calories because it was giving me anxiety (yea i know it sounds silly). I'm very proud of the way I've been eating but i am not sure if i should start counting again. Is it worth it?? Also do you count? What are your experiences?

I count, but I'm not losing weight.:(
It does make me stop and think before I eat though...which is always a good thing.
keep working your plan and good luck!! 0 -
I also count (and don't lose weight!). If I didn't, I would just eat and drink tons though lol!0

I count calories, even if I don't always record it, to make sure I'm hitting my macros to gain lean mass. If you're serious about your goals, you should record even for just a little while until you get into the regular habit of eating the way you've chosen. What are your goals?
My goal for calories is 2770 consisting of a 30/40/30 p/c/f macro balance. I never hit my carb goal because I just don't feel good with that many carbs in me. I am a certified nutrition coach and help to coach others at my gym in regards to nutrition.
I'm 5'10" and 162 lbs with consistently-building lean mass. I compete in Powerlifting and in 2015, I'll be competing in Strongman and Oly.0
