Old chicks like me will get the reference. Suffice to say that while I’m pleased to feel satisfied with this way of eating, and while I’m not gaining weight, I don’t seem to be losing any, either.
(Deep breath.) It’s calorie time.
I use My Fitness Pal because it’s free, and I’ve been down this road before, but never with whole foods as the basis of my eating plan. It was always “well, I have three hundred calories for lunch, how about a few cookies?”
So we’ll see how I feel this time around. I’m being sensible about my calories: 1500. If I swerve either way from that number just a tad I’m not too concerned, but I’m concerned about my health, and I do feel the need to lose some weight sooner rather than later.
Wish me luck. And be sure to leave me a comment below. Do you believe in calorie counting? Yes/no?
