From Kase, Age 16 - 07/25/07 - IP#: 24.129.92.xxx Click here to reply Ht. 5'6", Start: 206 lb, Today: 193 lb, Goal: 175 lb - I got a question. Should I start counting calories? I've tried before but it was just hella annoying. Lately I've just been eating normally, but I won't eat til full I'll just eat til satisfied then wait another 3 hours before I eat again if I am hungry. Is that better than counting calories?

There are flaws in calorie restricting thats its not really worth it. Personally i think you should look at what you put in you mouth before you eat it. will it really make you and your body as a whole happy or will it only leave you with temporary satisfaction.

I personally count them because it allows me to feel more incontrol and organized what I eat. But thats my personal standpoint. Do what works for you :)

Reply from Julie, Age 18 - 07/25/07 - IP#: 65.182.242.xxx I HATE counting calories and refuse to. It really is up to you. If you can keep you eating in check and truly know that you are not overeating, I would say no, don't. According to your stats, your way is working pretty well, so I wouldn't bother.
