It's unbelievable how quickly calories at up if you really are adamant and honest with yourself. For instance my breakfast was just 3 eggs, ounce of cheese, couple slices of bacon and tablespoon of coconut oil. Boom 684 calories just like that.  I know the days that I cheat or go off the reservation calories wise I stop counting because I actually don't want to know how bad off it is and how far over my limit I got. They make a lifestyle out of that mindset.
