Re: OP - Clarification

You say 'instinctive eating' like it's a good thing - instinct would have me drinking a fuck of a lot more alcohol than I do, and would never have taught me to measure my cooking oil. That's like saying everyone should be 'instinctive shopping' instead of looking at price tags and knowing roughly how much money they have in the bank. If that's how you shop, you're going to be responding to heavily marketed, high-cost items...which, surprise, is what happens with 'instinctive eating': you get the disgusting food and drinks industry we have, that pushes instant gratification at the cost of our health later in life. Like with shopping, calorie budgeting doesn't make items good/bad, it just makes them easily affordable/needs moderation, and fortunately there is a huge variety of easily affordable food out there. Counting calories for a few months last year changed my relationship with food much for the better.

I do get why you're cautious, because eating disorders are serious business, but whether or not someone has an eating disorder isn't going to be affected by looking at the calorie labels on their food or downloading a calorie app for their phone; just looking at the math is not going to make an otherwise-healthy person snap and become anorexic. In this case it's a much healthier option than what OP was considering doing instead.
