If you learn how to count calories, it will help you lose weight.  Most people who are trying to lose weight should aim for a daily calorie count of less than 1500 in order to lose weight.  If you eat 1500 calories a day for a week and haven’t lost any weight, you should decrease your daily calorie goal.

Keeping a food journal is the best way to help you count calories and lose weight.  Determine your calorie goal for each day, and write down everything you eat.   Use whatever resources you can find to learn how many calories are in the foods that you eat.  This information is often found on product packaging, books, and websites.  As time goes by, it will be easier to count calories and lose weight.
