Started weighing all my food and counting calories. Oh and three Brazilian nuts will supply all the zinc you need for one day.

It doesn’t take much of an effort. It’s one small extra step whenever you eat something. I don’t weigh every tiny bit of food. I didn’t weigh these three nuts for example, that’s just for the picture.

I weighed 50 grams of cashew nuts for breakfast. That’s a whopping 300 calories already. Jeez, I remember times I ate half a kilo in an hour or two. Wolfed down 3000 calories just like that and didn’t even feel full. It’s a miracle I never got to be obese, though last year I was getting there at some point.

There is other food I have seriously underestimated the calorie content of. So to do this right I really have to weigh my food, there’s no way around it.

And I don’t mind, am even enjoying it. It’s teaching me about food and I find it reassuring to know how much am eating and to stay in a ‘safe’ range.

Steps closer to a sixpack. The coveted summum of our culture 🙂
