[QUOTE="Mbaker, post: 1892934, member: 256617"] In my view it is not normal to weigh and measure, I am not aware of any other animals that behaviourally do this (serious point, when full some creatures bury excess). Calories in and out is only part of the equation, foods such as protein burn more calories than carbs, 'neat' practices burn additional calories, sleep, cortisol, standing etc all add to the mix as does the epoch effect of exercise. Unfortunately people believe the human body is a closed loop system which is no where near correct. Sometimes once leaness is achieved lean weight gain is desirable to increase bmr, I am not sure chasing weight loss transitions into this - I would rather be 80kg with 65 kg lean mass than 75 kg with 50 kg lean mass. Meat and 2 veg with an occasional treat was a good idea. Yesterday I grudgingly had to give my dog some of my Tuna, as I had surf and turf and was stuffed eating to satiety. I will only ever weigh and measure ingredients for a dessert which relies on that method. [/QUOTE]
