  I use my BMR (about 1,500) x 1.2(for office workers who don't exercise much). I totally disregard my short workouts and other physical activity.

  I was curious, so I went google and found a webby that gave me my BMR and therefore my "energy" usage. apparently I can consume 1845* 1.55 ~ 2850 calories?

  but if you actually want to lose weight, then you need to cut that number. and when you do lose the weight, your BMR will also drop.

  I use *1.2 because I don't spend much time exercising

  In fact, if you eat at just your BMR, you will confirm lose weight even with no exercise sia.

  stupid question...how do you "count" the calories in a meal? not like everything comes with a label...and the portion size varies

  and there's like a gazillion online calorie counters out there. some days you will overestimate, some days you will underestimate, but as long as you are trying, it all averages out somehow.

  and some things are damn small, not filling, yet packed with more calories than you can imagine, like dried fruit and nuts. or that one friggin plain bagel can contain 350 calories, one large starbucks frappe-something nearly 1000 calories

  if I eat just one upsized mcdonalds meal plus a sundae or apple pie or mcflurry, I pretty much hit or even exceed my entire day's caloric allowance sia.

  and if I were to eat a 6-inch subway for lunch, and another 6-inch for dinner daily, without any of the cookies, I'd look like a concentration camp inmate after a few months

  I think the fellas on pirates bay are coming up with solutions to that.

  well, a subway 6-inch is anywhere from like 300 to 600 calories. that x 2 is barely 1,200 calories sia. assuming you don't makan anything else you'll become a skeleton in due time lol

  Google is your friend. 

  In all seriousness, as av has pointed out, it all averages out. Some things you overestimate, some things you underestimate.

  On my part, for my daily energy output I only calculate it as (BMR + exercise output). I didn't count things like walking, running after the bus, and general everyday stuff. 

  The way I see it, that kinda cancels out any overestimates of food inputs as well.

  i grew up in a household that never diets, count calories, weigh themselves religiously (actually we never had a scale to begin with)...so every time a diet/counting calories talk come up, it feels alien.

  anyway i think i should up my calorie intake. gut feel only.

  I started the calorie counting thing because I wondered why I was still dropping weight. And it turned out that I was barely eating at BMR most days except weekends.

  and so I adjusted my intake upwards.
