I have decided from today to count every single calorie I put in my mouth... 3 Cups of Ricoffy with 30ml low fat milk in each amounts up to 55 calories vs 3 cups of "coffee with milk" that amounts up to 25 calories! It's the little things...

just be careful as this can become an unhealthy obsession I have been there I found it helped to Pre plan calories for the day and replace one cup of coffee with green tea.

I log everything, even a small as the oil or coconut oil i use to cook with. Best way to do it. Also i stay away from any low fat, they worse for your health than the real thing.

@joannepeacock, I really try to plan my meals for the next day or two (it doesn't always work out as I planned because life happens)

@Fat Mike's I don't think I would be able to log every ingredient with every meal as I occasionally don't do the cooking. How do you log individual ingredients when your meal consists of a whole lot of stuff thrown together for a lot of people? Do you list the raw ingredients as it goes into the pot and subtract what everybody else would eat or do you prepare your meals separately? But where I can I definitely will!

Not sure how many you cook for? But for me it myself and my wife. It doesn’t really matter though, just divide the end result by the number of people you cook for. I do the cooking mainly and weigh everything that goes into the pot. My wife does the same. When food is done and ready to eat i weigh the end result and take my half of the food. The wife then dishes up what ever she wants which is normally less that half. Its worked for me for 8 months and counting. Just so you realise the importance of tracking everything, i give you some examples: coconut oil or oil- calories 120cal for table spoon. Lamb - 350 cal per 100g where as mince is half that. So in checking everything I’m able to eat the high calories foods at lunch meals so they burn off before the even sets in.

I do the same as Mike. I weigh everything. Even when I bake bread (I love baking sourdough although I don't eat much - give most away :-)) I weigh the final bread and then I know how much a slice would be in Cal. I also weigh the oil etc I add for cooking. When out or eating where you cannot weigh I do best estimate but I always try and over estimate as we tend to think we eat less than we do.
