Does it tell you the amount of the chicken, eggs, etc. ? if so, I would assume if it says as prepared, it would be including that.

Thank you for your feedback.

I love this question- following to learn more!

Thank you so much for sharing. I am around 120 pounds and 5'3". Do you mind me asking how many calories you eat? I am just curious as I am about the same. I generally eat about 1700-2000 a day to maintain. @HotFrieZ

These are all such great suggestions. Thank you!

@janejellyroll , that is wonderful! I am so happy that this has worked for you! :)

Yes, I am a teacher and most of my students are intuitive eaters- I love watching them eat, and pick at their food. It is so interesting to me. If you don't mind me asking @denisekotz, what do you plan to do once you reach your goal weight? Do you think you will just cold turkey stop counting or stick to the foods you…

Thank you all for your feedback- I know we may disagree and that is 100% okay. Thank you for being kind and supportive. I just was curious to see others feedback. :smiley:

I know if I was ever told to restrict or stay within certain calorie limits it immediately made me want more, wheresas if I told myself I wanted a cookie and a piece of cake, I would eat…

Yes, I can totally see how this would work for you. It is more than likely my personality. I just find that if I am told, I can't eat something, or I can eat 3 cookies only, it makes me feel restricted, and that restriction is what causes me to overeat/ binge eat- which in turn results in weight gain.

Yes, I understand what you are saying. I guess I define dieting as not going over an allotment you've set for yourself. For example, if your diet requires 1,600 calories and you go over by 100 and start to feel guilty, or feel the need to exercise or find another compulsion to try to "make up for it." Again, this is my…

Hi, I just had a moment to read this (as I am new), is anyone looking for support with intuitive eating?
