My long-term goal is to have a healthy and balanced relationship with food. Step one for me is to eat around 1500 calories a day (3 meals and a snack/dessert) and keep a food journal. I weigh food when possible (or when I remember to π) and I estimate calories with the help of MyNetDiary and the WP Recipe Maker.
