I have, yes, and it makes sense. However, those people walk out as bags of bones because their body needs energy to live, so once it goes through it’s nutrient stores from food, and everything they can from muscle and fat, then there’s nothing left.

But see, I’m still lost! Because on one hand you say that a calorie is a calorie, but then you say that I can’t outrun a bad diet because of the nutrients it’s made of.

Ok, so you sound a lot like me in that after a few days, I don’t want those leftovers. And that if I’m going somewhere that doesn’t have a calorie listing, then I’m totally out of whack. Let it be known, I find calorie counting despicable and obsessive. I know that I have to change my perspective, which is why I’m going to…

Totally correct! Definitely not under the delusion that eating a single cookie will ruin everything. But I notice that every day, I tend to have some sort of sweet, which can range between a candy bar, a donut, to two pieces of cake (like the chocolate torte - that I split and shared with a friend, and a slice of Irish…

Dang! How do you know how many calories are in that 4oz dessert? I get that it’s makeup is 50/50 in carbs and fats, but where do you get that number for dessert? I know it’s much better to have lots of fruits and veggies, but it’s not satisfying or filling at all. I don’t know how people stay full on such diets. I’m also…

Which I’ve done! But even that 14oz steak with a side of mash potatoes is so high in calories. How on god’s green earth do people survive on the 1200 calories that MFP assigns to them (based on goals)?? Even the healthiest of filling and nutrient food (with meat) is 300 calories at least.

If going to a restaurant is one off thing, then I wouldn't even worry about it. If it's a regular thing and it's causing you not to lose weight, what I do is I just eat only high protein foods with little carbs and little fats (example: Whey Protein shake, egg whites, chicken, tuna....) during the day so that I have enough…

See, that’s what I don’t understand, because from what I’ve done research on, a calorie is not a calorie. Your body doesn’t look at calories- it looks at the nutrient makeup of those calories. So, if all I ate was cookies and then I ran it all off as well as putting myself at a deficit, I highly doubt I’m going to lose…
