Calorie Confusion

Agreed.

I'm a huge fan of tea when I think I'm hungry, but the biggest change is to swap in a lot more fruits and veggies for what you might otherwise be eating. Build your meals with those as a base, then lean protein, then healthy carbs, instead of the plate of pasta with a few veggies thrown in. It's way less calories, but the same (or more!) food.

I'm in a really similar place (in terms of height and weight to lose) and it has really helped me out.

Good luck darling!
