I'm trying a new strategy to count calories:
Each morning, I'm setting a counter ring to the amount of calories I want to consume each that day, and then subtract them as I eat.
Advantages:
- Much faster to use than fiddling with the Cronometer app
- Easier to build an intuition for how many calories are in things.
I've been using a unit of 50 kcal per number, which works really well: A small apple is 1, a slice of bread is 2, and so on. Feels cozy somehow!

Other current rule: Low-calorie vegetables (most things other than legumes, pumpkin and potatoes) and protein shakes are "free".
Because of this rule, I'm losing weight slower than before, but I probably also eat healthier & I'm happier :)
Slowwwly approaching my goal of 64 kg again, from which I drifted up when traveling this year. Bit frustrating. I'll try to remember to make another check-in once I get there!
