Repeat after me: I will forget about calories...I will forget about calories...I will forget about calories.

Got it?

I know. We've all been so immersed in the dogma of calorie counting and low fat, we almost can't unthink it. There is no "valid" amount of calories. No formula. Nada.

Eat when you are hungry. When you are not hungry, don't eat. Learn to tell the difference between hunger and "just wanting to eat something." Eat until you are satisfied, but not stuffed. Try to figure out how that feels. Ultimately these choices and discoveries will serve you better than counting--even counting carbs.

Meanwhile, count carbs. Maybe boost your consumption of yummy fats. But (did I mention this?) don't count calories.
