Not to mention the all important 100 calorie corona light?

At the risk of beating this to death...if the package says, for example, one slice of bread is 100 calories why do I need to weigh it? Are we assuming every package is potentially inaccurate??

Thank You all for the details and words of encouragement. Tracking the weight of every egg and banana would be a part time job, I get the idea, but I will stick to the basics and keep he faith! Thanks again!

I see your point, when I google 2 boiled eggs I see 156 calories and the app tells me 70!

I guess I'm trusting that a banana is 90 calories, two plain large boiled eggs are 140, I google everything and eat by measuring portions, a cup of zucchini a 1/3 cup of oats, I'm very meticulous. I check the barcode results against the database. My original plan was 1600 cal a day, to lose 1 lb a week, so even if I'm…

Thanks for the replies, I'm female, 5 foot nothing. Åge 51, been logging and eating 1200/1300 for 22 days straight. Trying to lose 5 lbs. I use the barcode scanner to track packaged foods but I cook most everything from scratch to avoid processed chemicals etc. I eat alot of fruit, maybe it's the sugar? Soooo frustrating!
