Counting calories with a phone app to lose weight. Tried a lot of diets with mild successes. Started counting calories, weighing myself and what I was eating. I lost 40lbs and have been able to keep it off.
I did this but to gain weight. I have been underweight since highschool due to a high metabolism and active job/lifestyle. Using a calorie tracker helped me hit my calorie and macro goals while also giving me a solid idea of my overall diet. I'm still a little underweight but I'm making progress.
This was my experience. It made it so easy to learn how calorie dense foods were and from there, what I needed to do to stay under target and still feel full. Wish I had done it sooner!
So crazy. Same exact story with me.
