Also what you eat is way more important than how much! Fast foods and highly processed foods are often calorie dense but nutrient poor, and you have to eat way more calories than your body needs to get the nutrients you need. Even with having sweets multiple times a week, if they're home made, you're still at a lower calorie count than someone who eats similar foods and amounts but in more processed forms. If you can get access to more nutrient rich foods and make as much of it yourself, you can satisfy yourself far easier and not have to overeat calorie wise to get nutrients

I used to be anorexic as a teen and rapidly lost a lot of weight, counted calories and barely ate and was very malnourished. I had no energy at all but everyone told me how good I looked and the worse I felt the more it happened and it ended up pissing me off enough that I said fuck those beauty standards, this is dumb, I feel like I'm dying. I don't need to die to be pretty, I just need to feel better. Once I started getting healthier and gaining a healthier relationship with food, I slowly got back up to a healthier weight and guess what! I learned intuitive eating and I've had a stable weight for more than 10 years. (no more than +/- 10lbs, usually seasonal since in winter my metabolism naturally slows down, and gained a couple more after a pregnancy that ended in miscarriage and body's hormones were wack for a bit, and as were coming into spring I'm already loosing it again)

A big part of my journey was learning I can make food that's delicious and amazing really easily at home, and expanding my knowledge of how cooking works so I never have to use a recipie for cooking (baking is different) so I never get bored of the same dish over and over again. Food can be good and exciting and full of joy! Even it's creation can be a joy when you're allowing yourself creativity. I even worked as a special events private chef (basically an in-house caterer) for several years before my disability caught up with me, and that was a fantastic learning experience too.

And honestly even with my disability catching up to me and slowly loosing foods I can eat due to allergies and GI problems, I can still approach food with joy and creativity because of those experiences. I can figure out new ways to make good food with limited ingredients so I don't have to miss out on a thing. It helps that I can access alternatives easily here (things like lactose free milks and cheeses, pectin free jams, nut butter alternatives, and even gluten free options)

And tbh I'm glad I figured all that out before my symptoms started to get bad. Had they started to get bad while I was still my skinny little scared of food self? Idk that I'd have been here tbh. A good relationship with food has literally saved my life, so I will scream the virtues of learning to make your own food and be creative and find what brings you joy in cooking.

I could also go on and on about not being scared of salt, sugar, and fats since those are all flavour enhancers but there's a lot of books written on the topic and if you want further research read salt fat acid heat or watch the Netflix special of the same name.

we really can’t overstate how damaging it has been to indoctrinate the public with the idea that if they let themselves eat as much as they want, they’ll eat too much. human bodies, when permitted over the long term to eat as much as they want, actually get really, really good at calibrating their hunger and satiety, and will over time eat exactly the right amount for themselves. the common conception of a balanced eater as a minimal or restrained eater is absolutely wrong. balanced eaters eat quite a lot (compared to diet cultural ideas about right intake amounts), and they do so consistently and permanently. healthy, balanced eating isn’t some tightrope walk, it’s a gigantic net of total permission to eat.
