He/Him
I've been calorie counting pretty much since January on the advice of my PT in a bid to drop the weight. I didn't mind calorie counting at the start, it was kinda nice to be held accountable for my food and opened my eyes to how much I was eating. I've managed to regulate my portion sizes.
But now I've kinda over it. My goal now is to build muscle and my PT has increased my calorie limit and told me what I should be eating etc. But I've come to realise that the act of calorie counting now is ruining my enjoyment of food and even worse, cooking. I had a chat with my PT and she said to using an app like MyFitnessPal is there just as a guide to keep track, and shouldn't be used religiously. Basically if I'm going to indulge, just make sure it's "good" food and not junk. So I'm planning to ween myself off of calorie counting and just being sensible with my food intake and portion.
I wondered if anyone else in this thread has or currently counts calories as part of their fitness?
