Quotes to ponder:
"Some non-dietitians were off by over 1,000 calories! So, yeah. Buy the scales so you don’t do this."
"Try to hit within +/- 50 of that average calorie amount AND weigh yourself every day in the morning before you eat and after you use the restroom."
"If your weight is staying about the same (within a pound or so), subtract 250 calories from your daily calorie goal and keep consistent."
