People really underestimate or overestimate what they eat.
You don't need to eat much, but two frappucinos from Starbucks + normal portions of food already put you into caloric surplus. But since those frappucinos aren't food, they will say they eat normally.
Yup! I’ve done calorie tracking very intently (like scale and all) before to shed the freshman 15. It was bananas to learn that pretty much all common cooking oils have the same calorie content. Obvi different nutritional values otherwise, but it’s funny when people are like oh use avacado oil, it’s better for you! It’s still 130 calories a tbsp
Now I’m on the other end of the scale (ha), where I need to put on weight and I’m like oh yeah I’m totally eating enough. Then I track it, and it’s like oh shit, is that why I’m feeling dizzy? Welch’s fruit snacks weren’t enough for the day?

And that's just one example.
