It's really not as bad as it sounds, i promise. LOL. When I started my diet it was so important for me to count my calories so i wouldn't over eat and know what was going in my body. When i started out, i tried to eat between 1200-1300 calories in a day. It's important that you don't go under 1200 calories! With everything, I eat read the back of the labels and jot down the calorie count. It's easier to eat packaged food at fist because the facts are there. Don't obsess with getting exactly 1300 calories either. The counting is just to have a general idea of how many calories you are having.
You have to pay attention to the SERVING size on the label when reading the labels. Whatever that serving is, that's what you eat. (For example if i eat almonds and the bag says 1/4th cup 160 calories, i measure out 1/4th of a cup and eat that.) And if you don't know the calories of something, GOOGLE. I promise you you will find it. Most restaurants have the calorie value of their meals on their websites. Try it out, you'll be surprised how many calories some of your favorite foods have!
