I am beginning to believe those who count calories and lose less weight than they anticipate.



Yeah 20% is massive if most of your calories come from carbs.

Sensible dieting talks about 10% reductions in intake along with light exercise.

Trying to manage that by those labels would be impossible.

However eating packaged processed foods isn’t a very good way to lose weight anyway.

I lost 180lbs a few years ago by cutting processed food, soda and alcohol out of my diet. Didn’t change anything else.

I presume the carbs in veggies are pretty much accurate by weight a carrot is a carrot (except for water content).
