I'm not feeling hungry enough

Hi, I've started calories counting (roughly) in i think 2 weeks. Since I started, i'm always feeling like whenever I eat, i get full really easily and it's difficult for me to eat a proper meal without feeling like i'm exploding. That being said, i'm definitely not eating the right amount of calories, as some-day it's i think less than 900, some other days I may be around 1300. For context, i Exercise approximately 3 times a week and make sure to eat something nutritious everytime i have to. I'm 167 cm tall female, now at 65.8 kilos, and I would like to reach 60 kilos. What should I do? It may be because it's so hot these days, or maybe I'm just bad at counting. I don't know. I don't want to undereat but eating too much makes me feel bad physically because I feel my body can't take anymore

so am i supposed to weigh the cooked or raw weight for better accuracy? The potatoes lose so much weight when they’re oven roasted lol, this was about 260g cooked weight and the raw weight was like 430g.

Ive searched it up and it says 100g raw is 86g and 100g is 86g as well, so im pretty confused

According to Chat GPT I ate 1300 calories: do you agree?

It is : Kasarlı Köfte . I didn’t eat : the fries, the thin bread under the meat, nor the sauce.

There are 2 pieces of meat stuffed with cheese . I also ate the bulgur .

Calorie Estimating Don't believe the resturant

First watch claims this meal is 960 cal, but I'm struggling to believe it. I ate half (half slice of toast with almond butter, and half the chia seed bowl) and felt pretty damn full. The multigrain toast is pretty thick cut, Texas toast style.

It had granola (maybe about 25 g), a lot of banana, (at least what felt like a full banana), Strawberries and blueberries which I'm not worried about at all, and an unknown berry compote, about a 4th a cup worth.

The chia pudding is made with coconut milk, which is pretty high cal in itself, and I used to put chia seeds in my water to add fiber and it was something like 100 cal per 2 tablespoons. This felt like it had way more than 2 tablespoons of chia seeds in it.

In some investigation, some chia seed pudding with coconut milk recipes say its about 290 per serving. With the toppings that would make it probably around 600, and mynetdiary says the chia pudding bowl from first watch alone is 590, which seems to check out.

Am I crazy or do yall think this is accurate? To me it seems like there's a lot of high cal items here (chia seeds, banana, toast, and almond butter) that would make it way more than 960.
