You don't need to count calories to realize that a 2,400 pulled pork mac and cheese dish has too many calories. Just avoid high calorie foods as a general rule. Nobody is arguing you should ignore calories when you're fasting, just that stressing about the exact number of calories you get is often such an additional mental tax on an already difficult task (Permanently changing your dietary habits) that it's often counter-intuitive. If you're an average sized but over-weight male, generally eating less than 2,000 calories a day will probably cause you to lose weight. When you're fasting, that basically means "Don't eat a 1lb colossal burger with fries and down it with three beers" for dinner. Cut out most liquid calories and eat a filling but not excessive meal in the evening. Learn that it's okay to be a little hungry sometimes. If you make these changes and your not losing weight, then you probably just need to be a bit more critical about your eating still.

And this is pretty much my approach until i get to 250 or whatever weight i stall on.
Replace beers with another burger or dessert and thats me haha.
