Adult fattie here.  I need to lose about 30 lbs. 50 and I would be at my high school weight.  Calories are too easy to access, and we don't expend enough energy.  Chick Fil-a wrap with no dressing and a small fry is 650 calories.  That's not much food, and if you are trying to lose weight that is over 1/3 of your allowable calories.  Add a medium coke and you are over 800.  A quarter pounder w cheese and large fry is 1000 calories.  Terrible for you in so many ways, but also over half your day's intake.  Sit down restaurants are even worse simply due to portion size.  You eat out 3 meals a week or more and you are likely going way over what want.

It really is as simple as calories in < calories out, but simple does not mean easy.

Weight loss is about calorie restriction, which is about hunger control, which is about a million different things.[/quote]

Your post was likely ignored by those who complain about how they cannot lose weight.

People repeatedly claim that they do watch what they eat and consume very limited amounts of food. But as you outlined above, a wrap or a quarter pounder meal can quickly amount to half the probably allotment of calories for the average adult. Then you have breakfast and dinner/lunch, coffee, snacks, dessert, an alcoholic drink, soda, etc and it does not take much to exceed 3000 calories without really going overboard.

Yet people will insist that they are eating very little or watching what they are eating. [/quote]
