I don't count calories as I don't weigh my food and I don't see how you could count calories without weighing. I suspect I eat around 2,000 calories a day. I pretty much maintain on this, but that's figuring in my exercise. I also know I probably eat more than 2000 calories on some days. Maybe I am wrong.
I've changed my eating a lot in the last 10 years. I eat a lot more protein. I eat no junk and don't have it in the house.
But, I like to eat and I like to cook. I tend to increase or change up my exercise when my weight goes up, rather than cut calories. The truth is, I am hungry all of the time unless I eat huge amounts of food, so I just try and control it by eating lots of fruits, veggies, cheese, and nuts. I could live on bread, so this is not easy for me. It's getting pretty hard to maintain my weight (107 at 5' 1"), so I am about to maybe join a gym again, although I have been successful working out at home to supplement my riding. The rain in the last two weeks has made me yearn for a class to go to, though and I think it might help me with my weight control. When I was in my early thirties I weighed about 92 and that wasn't good, either.
