Calorie counting

[Morning Glory]

I´m probably one of the luckiest people around because, regardless of what I eat or don´t eat, I´ve maintained the same body weight as when I was 18: 75 kgs.

Lucky you! It not fair... Are you always 'on the go' or something?

So if you combine "control your calories" with "eat until you're satisfied", then you'll wind up eating healthy by default.

I find it easy peasy to do that with food. My downfall is alcohol. The (unhealthy) amount I drink would mean a virtually starvation diet in order to stay within normal calorie limits each day.

I really admire your honesty. Alcohol has a lot of empty calories.

That's why scotch is my go-to. I can enjoy it slowly.

Alcohol is my downfall as well. I'm on gin n water and keep good health.
My friend butcher goes to an addictive group on a Thursday morning. Theres a couple that go there in their 80s who are having trouble with booze and hooter. I said let them go for it. Too late to change them. Maybe I see myself as them as well??

My liver waved the white flag about a year ago. I can't blame alcohol for my pot-belly anymore. I'm just old and out of shape.

I´ll just add that beer is life, and the rest is just details.

I'm 85 kgs and have hovered around that weight since I was around 24 years old (I'm 1.92 metres tall). The weight was distributed differently after I stopped smoking 8 years ago but stayed roughly the same in total. Between 24 and 45 I ate two substantial meals every day; after 45 that was reduced to one plus snacks. I've drunk copious quantities of beer since as long as I can remember. I will have to check with Wikipedia what a calorie is.
