I cook for a living & have to taste things all day! Anyone else in my shoes? Tips for managing cal?

Hi! I'm 46yo personal chef, who's always been in the rounder side of life. I've successfully lost weight before, but I was a stay at home mom then..not in kitchens all day. Over the years my weight has crept back and somewhere I lost control altogether! I'm trying to lose 50# to get to 150#, still a little more than I should but it's a good start. I've already lost 21, but have stalled out. Since I'm back cooking full time & must also taste throughout the day I'm wondering if I'm taking in more than I think. Right now I guess the calories of these tastes, but does anyone else have experience with losing weight in this scenario? Thanks!!

I’d say limit the tastings to a teaspoon per meal cooked, write down your recipes so you can skip the tastings eventually...and do some excercise and stretches while cooking...don’t do it with a knife in hand though.
