    Salad (minimal dressing), 11 cooked small shrimp with homemade cocktail sauce, 8 Bibigo mini wontons. Roughly 300-350 calories. Beats snacking!

    Sounds good Yooly! Shrimp are actually one of the "cheapest" proteins I've found for calories for quantity!

    I might be able to manage that, Nic. And that sounds like fun.

    I've made two rather enormous pots of soup since I returned home on the weekend. Supper is in the freezer for a while. Trying again to have bread in moderation. So far so good this week. It seems if I stick to my old breakfast of clementines and almonds - my day doesn't go off the rails quite so much? I brough home 3/4 a loaf of bread on saturday and it lasted until today. That is manageable. And really quite shocking :)

    It's tricky to moderate. At times I've found almost saving the calories and having a big meal works. At other times that having a big meal early on and then not opening the flood gates works. And at other times that multiple snacks with NO big meal works too. In the end I think that hamster management has more to do with it than anything else!🤷‍♂️

    The biggest gamble for me I think IS the big meal at the end. Because I can easily overeat the calories by throwing in some candy bars or cookies. Or get it to be large and filling enough while still having a deficit. Yet it is my most frequent choice. And was the way I've tended to eat most of my life (large dinner). Hmmmm 🤔
