I've eaten 1200 cals by lunch time! How do I not do that?

    I agreed with everything you said except this. If you're doing CICO then the zero calorie drinks are fine (I lost 7+ lbs last month and I drink these sometimes for the B12/various vitamins.) It's unrealistic to eliminate juice, sodas, alcohol, energy drinks, flavored water (a bottled/canned "zero calorie drink") when you're just starting out.

    1.) Pre-log.
    2.) Premake your meals for the week each Sunday (this helped me tremendously.)
    3.) Learn portion control (invest in measuring spoons/cups and always read serving sizes.)
    4.) Weighing your food may help.
    5.) Don't beat yourself up if you exceed your deficit; that's just life. It happens. You can easily do cardio for an hour or two that day or the next or something to catch back up.

    Prelog.

    Plus I start light and build up through the day. No breakfast, light lunch, and then eat more in the evening. :)
