Can I eat whatever I want and still lose weight as long as I don't go over 1500 calories?!


Question: Can I eat whatever I want and still lose weight as long as I don't go over 1500 calories.?
I've been on a 1500 calorie diet for about 2 weeks now. I've just been eating whatever, but staying within 1500 cals. I've been eating a lot everyday. I haven't been going over 1500 calories a day though. In the past when i've tried going on a diet and eating healthy it just didn't work for me and i always went off the diet, because i couldn't stick to it. So does what i eat and how much i eat matter as long as i'm not going over 1500 calories a day.?

Yesterday i had the following (at different times in the day of course): (I keep track on my-calorie-counter.com)
*Double cheese burger (4 ounces of hamburger, bun, cheese, ketchup and onions) - 315 cals
*Honey turkey sandwich (1 slice of bread, 6 slices of honey turkey and onions) - 180 cals
*Hotdog (bun, hotdog, ketchup and onions) - 160 cals
*Double cheese burger (4 ounces of hamburger, bun, cheese, ketchup and onions) - 315 cals
*Honey turkey sandwich (1 slice of bread, 6 slices of honey turkey and onions) -180 cals
*Honey turkey sandwich (1 slice of bread, 6 slices of honey turkey and onions) - 180 cals
*Icecream bar - 100 cals

Answers:
Even if a food has a smaller number of calories, it may still have a lot of fat. A double cheeseburger can easily have 20 or 30 grams, in which case it is going to be difficult to lose weight that way. My suggestion would be eating things in moderation, with emphasis on lean proteins (like the turkey) and veggies.Health Question & Answer

No, you can't.
Where the nutritional value in the foods you're eating.? There's none. No worthwhile vitamins, minerals, whole grain carbs, proteins, veggies, Essential Amino Acids, Essential Fatty Acids..... there's nothing.

You really don't know how nutrition works if you think this is going to help you. You need to eat healthy foods that your body can use. Right now it's just storing everything you eat as fat, because that's all it's good for.Health Question & Answer

When I was trying to lose weight, I always tried to star under 1500 calories, but eat healthy.

I was told as long as I stayed under 1500 calories I could eat anything I wanted, but still get awy with eating junk.

NOT TRUE.

Haha, I lost 10 pounds eating healthy & staying under 1500.
As soon as I started eating junk, and even staying under 1500, I didnt gain weight, but I didnt lose any.Health Question & Answer

No lol theres a bit more to it than that, it depends on what ya eat aswell, things with high amounts of saturated fats are badHealth Question & Answer

No.

Btw, it really looks like you're underestimating the calories you're eating.Health Question & Answer
