That is great M2M. Like you say, if you weren't counting
calories and had been good all day then had fast food, you would have probably thought you had spoiled your
diet and been down on yourself. But by counting
calories you were able to realise that you have actually been very good, and even if you ate that every day you would still lose 2 lbs a week!!
I tend to do portion sizes combined with healthy choices, where I have a list of what a portion is and I have 7 carb, 7 fruit and veg, 2-3 protein, 2-3 dairy, 2
fat and 2 'occasional' foods a day. But if I have something that I don't know where it would fit in, like a sandwich filler with lots of mayo, or something from a take away, I switch to calorie counting to check on what I have had that day. It saves that whole, I can't quantify it so I might aswell munch whatever!, feeling.
Good going and keep up the good work
