calories, not working

Well, counting calories does not work, because I struggle to get just the right amount so, I try many things, or like recently, a program said that I was over weight, so I ate very sparingly but, realized that I didn't reach my basal needs yet, so I just ate crap to reach it, but that reminds me of the deer that were trapped in a town in Colorado, and the town stuffed they regularly with hay, and they ate plenty of food, but ended up dying of starvation or malnutrition because their stomachs were not filled with things their bodies needed.
