Has anyone got an idea how do you see food as food, and not numbers? I can't even enjoy my food or eat normally without only seeing the numbers in front of my eyes. Not only calories, bur also macros. It's causing me anxiety and I can't "unsee" the numbers. It's not abour restriction, but more about orthorexia type of thinking. My goal is to get a perfect balance of macros. That means getting plenty of protein and fat and some carbs (all are defined by exact numbers) AND getting the perfect number of calories. I am now very anxious because I ate too many carbs for dinner (it was whole grain, but I keep thinking that carbs are evil, even whole grains if there's more than 50g per meal). And I don't think there was enough protein. Now it makes me feel like I've failed although my calories are fine.

How do I manage my anxiety?
