And once you know that water has no calories in it you no longer need to track anything about it. You can just drink it. What's the difference?
Are you dense or just trolling? You can't live on just water. So you have to eat some food. this food will have varying amounts of calories. If you want to keep your calories below a certain amount, you need to track calories.
Can you live on just beef? (Possibly, but is it healthy to live on just beef? Is it fun to live on just beef? Is it cheap to live on just beef? Is it convenient to live on just beef?)
What do you mean by “track calories”? Did pre-WW2 Okinawans track calories?
as in figure out how many calories are in each item you eat and then write it down and add it up?
I think his point is that you don't have to know the exact number of calories to lower how many calories you are eating. You can roughly ballpark it. i.e. if I want to eat 1/3 fewer calories I can eat 2/3 of my usual portion size.
Exactly. Another possibility is to look at these pictures, decide which ones look the least satiating, and avoiding those kinds of food.
