. . . is that you have NO idea how many calories you consume normally. Today I had a box lunch catered in at work and without counting calories, I would have just had the whole thing. It was a vegetarian caprese sandwich on a ciabatta roll with a bag of low-fat chips, a pickle spear, and a cookie. Seems harmless. Total calories = 1200!! I only ate half the sandwich and the pickle spear and gave away the chips and cookie, so I made it only 370 calories.
I used to think I didn't eat badly, and I don't really. But since I'm trying to lose weight, figuring out how to NOT eat 1200 calorie meals will help me quite a bit.
