From breakfast to dinner to snacks in between, it's easy to lose track of what you're eating throughout the day — and counting calories isn't a foolproof plan, Moskovitz said.
"Unless you sit down and calculate total calories — which can be very difficult, it's hard to say whether you're eating the right amount to create the calorie deficit needed for weight loss or fat burning," she told Insider.
Trotter advised you should be more aware of the nutritional value of food instead of counting calories. In fact, if you're eating a 100-calorie snack and it has no nutritional value, then it's not helping. Instead, turn to snacks with a slightly higher calorie count that have a better nutritional value and will keep you full longer.
