WHY DO I KEEP READING THIS EVERYWHERE ONLINE?
Calorie counting on MFP has been a game changer for me and it's so irritating when people keep saying calories don't matter and you can eat as much as you want of "healthy" foods and still lose weight
Thoughts??

I just tell them, "You do you..."
I lost 75 lbs counting calories and I include a fair share of yummy "unhealthy" ones in my daily diet.

It's so frustrating to me! Like I've lost nearly 45 pounds by counting calories, weighing my food and regularity exercising and there's people trying to say the method "doesn't work" and is "wrong"39 -

I have family members who lost every bit of their weight they wanted by using the low carb (under 100g/day) and eat all you want otherwise diets. It just isn't for me. I'd rather eat what I want and stop when I reach my calorie limit. So CICO is what I stick to, and it worked.20
