We’re both counting calories for weight loss. I’ve been going for almost a year and he recently has noticed my progress and decided to join me (he’s tall and has a slender build but has a little more stomach than he’d like).
And I am so jealous of how easy it is for him. I’m over here on 1500 calories a day, and I have to be so careful about what I eat. I focus my meals around adding lots of vegetables so that I can feel full longer and I’m normally fine, but I miss being able to snack like I used to. His calorie goal is 2400 a day, so we eat meals together that are set to meet my goals. Then he goes “wow I have so many calories left!” and is able to have snacks and beverages which I had to cut out.
I know this is just me being bitter, but I am so jealous that calorie counting for him is “just make better choices” and he often is like “oh I’m just not hungry so I’m under my goal for today”. For me it’s planning and hard work and a constant battle to make sure I am not sitting here pouting that I’m hungry because I ate a calorie-dense but small portioned meal or snack.
Thanks for hearing me vent, Reddit. I know it’s not his fault and he’s just happy to be losing weight. I don’t want to take the wind out of his sails, so I just wanted to let off some steam.
