  • Counting vs Tracking I count everything. All calories count towards weight loss. 500 cal a day = 1lb a week .. not a hard, fast rule, but it's a number I just keep in mind to help me stay on track. However, I do not track the amounts or types of sugars (carbs). I just mentally try to be aware and keep away from the simple,…
