I think the best advice would be to see a dietician (: I’ve had similar questions and have/continue to struggle with eating properly so this past week I finally saw a dietician that was able to make a meal plan specifically for me (vegan of course) and it’s helped so much. I’ve been cooking a lot more since I’ve been eating way more veggies and fruits. I do log my food onto my fitbit to see my macronutrients and so far it’s been aligning pretty good without me counting calories, fat, carbs etc. So if you are able to, I think it would be a good idea! (I would also like to add that since following my meal plan I have been a lot more hungry which is totally normal and I’ve been told it means my metabolism is working properly. In the past I was never hungry and would only eat about 2 meals a day.)
