Or alternately you simply started being aware of what you were eating, and consequently consumed less calories.
Also, as I mentioned, I'm eating more calories now, not less. Calories are bunk as an idea anyway, so that point is moot.

This misses the point that the calorie model is bad for weight related things. The point where the calorie model could apply is for an irrelevant amount of calorie restriction
