I know there are a lot of fad diets and then there is calorie counting as a more science based approach. I myself do calorie counting and follow a strict diet in order to avoid overeating. How do you eat all day, you follow a system?

I don't follow any sort of strict system or monitoring. I just try to have vitamins, fats, fiber, and protein in every meal I can. Mostly I work hard to get enough calories in. I lead an active life, often walking to and from my relatively active job. I have a fast metabolism, but my Welbutrin slows down food processing in my body. I'm a perfect storm of calorie deficiency. I can basically guarantee that I'm going to burn more calories than I take in any day that I work. I usually stock up on relatively healthy snacks and give in to the munchies when I'm off work. I'll have a whole second small meal of yogurt and cereal with peanut butter as dessert after dinner. And then I'll spend the next day out walking half the damn day because of my wonderful walkable neighborhood x_x
I'm so jealous right now, I wish we had those type of neighborhoods were I lived.
There is a very real chance that mine is the only one in the city. It's right in the middle of the city by the bigger college. North side might have a few walkable areas in theory, but it also has dangerous areas you wouldnt always want to walk through. South side is strung out retail and commercial spaces, several minutes drive to anything, poor pedestrian infrastructure. I'm in a sweet spot.
