Counting The Calories

How many calories do I eat every day? How many calories do I burn in a day? I couldn't tell you if my life depended on it.  I know my life actually does depend on calories on a biological level but I couldn't tell you how or why.  It's not something I'm going to concern myself with or waste any significant time over. One meal per day fasting keeps me from over nourishing my body. I like to call it marketed gluttony. When it comes to the one meal per day if I'm hungry I make it a big plant based meal. If I'm still hungry I will have a little more. If I'm not that hungry my meal is small. I'm learning to tune out the marketing noise and just listen to my body.  Your body tells you what it wants. Unless it's cravings, those are your micro biome yelling at your brain and a topic for another day. Start listening and your body size will naturally correct to your frame.
