How do you count bites and tiny portions



Recommended Posts

I am into the eatting food stage before my first fill. But this will be a relavent question for the rest of my life. How do you count one or two bites of food calorie wise? Like I had like 3 bites of chicken breast. I mean how many calories is that? I am not sure if I am over estimating or under estimating.

I dont bother personally. I havent counted a calorie in years and I dont plan to ever again.

It really isnt relevant. If you dont eat too much, you wont be too fat, that's pretty much the equation. If you eat a lot less you will lose weight.

I know some people like to do it, so maybe someone else can tell you their methods, but I personally found it very liberating to give up all that stuff.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
