2,800 calories, that could seem like a lot but I'm a young man and I work out every day quite hard too so I am losing weight every week even eating that many calories daily. (I stick with good nutritious food of course)
I never really knew how many calories I was eating before, I had no clue. All I knew is I was losing pounds and that was good enough. 87 pounds down over the past 10 and a half months now.
Anyway, I recommend the site and the software since it has helped me to figure it out more precisely.
2nd thing I've been doing is I bought a small digital kitchen scale the other day. It has helped me to control my portions and evaluate all sorts of things I was doing before too. (Using it to evaluate how many calories are in my portions of course)
Precision, I like that so I'm not ball parking it anymore when I'm eating yogurt or something, I put the bowl on the scale and I know how much yogurt I have, it only takes seconds. I don't do that for everything I eat of course, just the things that have more calories, not for lettuce and celery sticks.

I got a really good deal on the scale too, it was half price and I found a few very positive reviews of the product as well. It will make it easier to control my weight later on too. If I decrease my exercise a lil' bit I know I have to decrease the calories I eat too not to gain weight, or if I eat about the same maybe I'll remain at the same weight perhaps - - I'll have to wait and see.
Anyone else uses a kitchen scale sometimes ?
Cheers !
Marc
