Funny thing, I measured out .75 cups of almonds yesterday... calorieking told me that would come to 625 cals. Then I obsesively counted them out one by one, and at 7 cals per almond, I counted that I consumed 725 cal. Still, I'm below my maintenance calories of 2000 which is a good thing. I'm really in this to cut fat. I tried to drop calories a week ago, and that ended up in a hungry disaster. I absolutely can't be hungry. I cut 200 calories and then end up bingeing on a tub a ice cream. I was in pretty good shape about a year ago, on a pretty strict diet (for me), but allowed myself cheat meals. The cheat meals were ridiculous, like a tub of ice cream and a box of cookies. I figure that if I just eat a bit below maintenance, I'll lose slowly in the long run. Just below maintenance will probably average out to same same as calorie restriction+binge. That's what I tell myself, but it's May 1, and I want to look cute now. Slow and steady wins the race I tell myself.
