Your body knows what it needs, but tracking food in apps and punishing yourself with restriction or extra exercise breaks that trust. Eat a block of chocolate, feel terrible, then spiral into guilt and overcompensation. The way out is listening to your body's signals instead.
I want you to step back and learn how to listen to your own body. Your body knows what it needs. Like you said, you know you feel like crap when you eat the whole block of chocolate. You can choose to do that. If you do it consistently, you're going to consistently feel like crap. And I know you don't want that. But I don't want you using an app, Limelight Fitness Pal, and putting the block of chocolate in there, looking at it, feeling guilty, beating yourself up for it, and then putting yourself on a restrictive diet or over exercising the next day to make up for it. Learn to trust your body and your body will learn to trust you. It's a two way relationship.
