I’m not sure how much longer I’m going to count calories.

Counting calories is extremely monotonous and in opinion, unnecessary.  While I always have a rough estimate of my daily calorie consumption and exertion, I don’t want to have to write down that I had a cheese doodle for 5 calories.

My time could be better spent on the treadmill.

I originally started counting calories to show people that I eat well while losing weight.  Now that I’ve done that for a couple of months, I don’t think showing my calorie consumptions is useful anymore.

What do you guys think?
