What about intuitive eating? Scrap the calorie counting. At the dinner table, after all what you are eating is not a bunch of calories(picked fresh just for your pleasure
), but food? A living being/thing(things are alive too, did you know that?) that (should) nourish[es] you.
I don't mean it like "eat whatever you want and think that food doesn't impact your health and well being". I mean exactly the opposite. Food has a tremendeous impact on you. (Or maybe a slight nudge. Food is gentle.[most of the time
]) Eating is sacred, eating should be a meditation that revitalizes your body and heart and spirit and being - you can't do that if you just guzzle down calories, proteins, omegas and what not.
