Counting calories with low carb

  • Does anyone else count calories with low carb eating? I have been a lurker here for a long time and decided to get on the forum for support. I have approx. 20# to lose and since I am old and short (5'1"), seems like I have to really watch my calories.

    I lost 40# a few years ago doing low carb but that just stopped. Think I was eating too many calories although I stayed on program. So have been struggling for a long time. Would lose and then gain, but this is the year that I am going to get to my goal.

    Have lost a few #'s since I started logging calories and carbs the first of the week, so think this is going to work for me.

    Would love to have others join me in this journey.
  • Many of us watch our calories as well as our carbs. There are a lot of great threads in the low carb forum. Low carb is usually more satisfying, so that's why a lot of people don't think that they need to watch calories. I keep mine around 1500 a day.

    Welcome and good luck!
