    I was eating twice as much as I should have.

    how do you define what a “should have” amount is?

      Bought a kitchen scale, bathroom scale and used the “lose it!” app to count calories. Lost weight.

      I just used an online calculator. It said something like 1500 kcal a day for my activity level to maintain weight.

      I don’t really count calories, but I do look to get a general idea of what a meal or a snack is. Sometimes I’m way over, sometimes I’m way under, it’s all about balance and being in the ballpark.
