I used to not give a **** about it, but now I find myself actually looking at the labels of things & kinda making an effort to keep below a certain level

No, perhaps in several years when things start catching up to me. :P

I do, I believe everyone will reach a stage when they need to keep track and be aware of their food intake and nutrition weather it would be in a good way or the bad way.

I try and keep an eye on how much I'm eating in a day, but I don't really count them, per se. Between June and October of last year I decided to count calories because I'd ended up gaining some weight... ended up losing 50 pounds and I'm now actually about 5 pounds underweight now.

FYI, counting calories gets more important in your late 20s or so when your metabolism starts slowing down a bit.

That would really depend on what I'm actually eating.

I do not count CALORIES But I do keep track of FAT GRAMS -normal is about 60-65 grams per day (2000-2500 calorie diet) -but I tend to stay under 30 grams per day -That way i keep my muscle mass, but shed fat

I do sometimes, but there isn't much need for it as I generally don't eat a lot.

Not down to the calorie, but I do keep track of and estimate my daily intake. I've let myself go far too many times so far in life to not have to care about it. I want to be healthy and maintain a proper weight... and the only way to do that is to eat a balanced diet full of healthy foods and keep the calorie intake around how many are used in a day.

I read the labels of stuff, but I don't really count calories, per se. I DO check to see how much sugar stuff has in it since I'm trying to cut sugar out of my diet.

I'd guess about 2k, and you might have some CVS problems if you keep it up :P .

I have recently since I decided to loose a little bit of weight. I've lost 10 pounds and am trying to loose a little bit more. ...I'm sure that fried pork chop I had for breakfast didn't help though...

Well I do look at all the labels and stuff, but if I want to eat it, that's not stopping me.
