I just read DIESEL's thread about cutting up. I fully understand that in order to lose weight, you need to create a calorie deficit. You must eat less than you burn. The part I'm struggling with is how exactly do you make sure to eat the right amount of calories everyday? Does the amount have to be fairly exact?
I understand reading labels and all that, but for me, in the past it was never an exact science. Maybe it hast to do with the fact that I live in a house with my father and brother and I am often convinced by them to follow their eating habits, which are not exactly healthy by any means.
So, I guess my question is: Does anyone here have any tips or habits I could incorporate into my plan to help insure success?
