As someone with a binge eating disorder (grew up playing hockey on 2 teams in highschool as well as reffing - literally on the ice every night - did not have to worry about my diet until my adulthood), 100% agree. Calorie counting in conjunction with increased cardio and weight lifting is the only thing that has worked for me

Of course, people with a tendency to develop anorexia or purging eating disorders should probably stay away from calorie counting as that can trigger dangerous disordered eating. Very important to know what works for you personally.

My general advice is to just look at the per-weight calories of things you buy, not counting calories, just being informed of how calorie dense stuff is. That way you can make informed decisions about your diet without stressing out about precise calorie counts: when you know that you can eat 3x as much French fries as crisps for the same calories, crisps suddenly become less appealing (at least for me).
