It's not about being easy, it's about being able to measure. I've been completely unable to regulate my food intake for a long time until I took it real seriously (therapeutic fasting. It's a thing, it's very extreme, if you can avoid it do it) and kind of reset my eating habits. Now that I'm slowly increasing my caloric intake to what someone on the weight I aim to be should consume (2m calories a day, healthy for someone with 90kg), having the pero 100g indication is extremely helpful for me since I can estimate how much stuff is taxing my daily budget, and I'm discovering some incredible cheat foods (stuff I really enjoy eating that fills me and has low calories).
What I mean to say is that having the per 100g information is very valuable for anyone that cares to control their caloric intake. Sure, you don't have it in restaurants and stuff but with enough experience you tend to learn to estimate dishes so you can compensate beforehand or afterwards to not exceed your budget.
Its all about caloric intake, some people have it real hard to keep it under control due to eating disorders or family customs, but it really is just that.
I am confused by the instruction "if you can avoid it do it."
Sorry, I meant that if you can avoid doing it, do avoid it <3
It should be interpreted: "if there's any way that you can avoid using this technique/ therapy, then you should absolutely go out of your way to avoid having to use this ~~torture regemin~~ therapy."
Please tell me about your cheat foods
Sure! As always, food being filling depends a lot on the person same with tastyness. Anyway, one dish I really like is guacamole, it's usually eaten with bread, and that bad. Recently I've taken a liking to eatich raw spinach with some oil (a cheap refillable spray will let you throw just what you need, usually 60kcal are enough to dress it well) and about 125g guacamole which is somewhat around 250kcal from the brand I buy. The guacamole and oil give a lot of flavour to the spinach, which has a strong texture and takes awhile to eat everything. It's less than 400kcal in total, and quite healthy.
Instead of buying fruit juices, which even natural ones have quite a lot of sugar and thus calories, I've taken a liking to drinking vegetable soups, which basically cost the same in the store and have a fraction of the caloric cost while having quite a lot of vatamins. Again, I personally enjoy it a lot.
Besides that it's all about eating stuff I would not usually eat. Lentils, chickpeas and other legumes are pretty good in nutrients and fill you a lot.
Everything considered, it's more about not eating an exaggerated amount of food, and the fasting really helped me reset my habits. Before I wouldn't have considered eating fruit instead some bag fries, but now that it's been a while that I haven't eaten fries, I'm slowly getting used to eating healthy stuff since going from zero to vegetables+fruits is incredible.
To summarize, lightly dressed spinach & guacamole salad and vegetable soups are my "cheat foods". Food I really enjoy that fills me up with a low caloric intake.
Edit: forgot about the pear cherry tomatoes, it's a variety of cherry tomatoes that has more "meat" and is sweeter, but still has fuckall calories so buying a bunch instead of potatoes and eating them all is totally fine.
