m21, 185 pounds, 6’0 for reference
i didn’t know how else to describe them, so i went with “phantom calories” to get us in the spooky mood. ive been dieting and losing weight since january this year and have lost about 110 pounds, but i’m still scared that ill log my food wrong and overeat accidentally.
i even use a food scale and measure everything by gram (unless i eat the whole container, like those pre-packaged protein drinks or a whole can of fish, then i just log the whole container).
despite weighing everything, i’m worried that i’m going to mess up and weigh something wrong. or, more frighteningly, ive heard that calorie amounts can be off by more than you’d think. i have no reason to worry that this is happening. ive been consistently losing weight this entire time, but im still worried that my weight loss might stall because i chronically eat something that has a mislabeled calorie amount.
i kinda wrote this to vent about what’s going on inside my head, but if anyone has some advice or reassurance or info about how nutrition facts are labeled in the us, i’d appreciate it.
