On that calorie counting debate, I am a living example that counting calories is the way to cut pounds. I lost over 50 pounds at one point just by keeping my caloric intake to a certain amount. I have since lifted a lot of weights, and then got back to counting calories hard again and have lost 10 pounds since the middle of January.
When you count calories, of course you're not gonna hit your goals eating 1500 calories of chips. That shyt won't fill you up, and you'll go over that amount because you're too hungry. But the thing is that when you start to pay attention to your calories, you notice that certain foods accumulate a certain amount of calories, yet you are still hungry as hell afterwards. Therefore, in order to eat a certain amount of calories and not be hungry as shyt, you start to pay attention to what foods fill you up the most while still being low in calories. But, you can still have your choice to eat anything you want as long as you stay within your calorie limit and lose weight.
