Nope, for many it is the only way to lose fat. I can overeat eating a super strict Paleo diet with zero processed foods and no added sugar. Many people do not self regulate very well and gain when they do not control their intake. The question “I am eating so healthy, so why am I not losing?” must be one of the most common ones on any weight loss forum. And the answer is simple, it is because they eat more than they think. And sure they can implement IF and other strategies to reduce calories, but calorie counting is the most reliable way. [/quote]

But you do realize all calories measures are completely inaccurate. [/quote]

There is always a degree of error, but claiming it is completely inaccurate is an exaggeration mostly if you focus on eating Whole Foods and measure everything in grams. Having an exact measure is also not necessary. You just need a starting number and adjust from there based on what happens to weight. Whether you are in reality eating 2000 calories instead of the 1800 you think you are eating is pretty irrelevant as long as you are achieving the desired impact on your weight. Calorie counting has literally never failed me. Intuitive eating fails me pretty much every time as I just like to eat. And I am not talking about stuffing my face, just eating three regular meals and some snacks. [/quote]
