    While I do like variety and trying different things, I tend to stick to most of the same stuff on repeat. That way I know where I am basically in my daily calories plus I don't find something I can't resist. Temptation is very difficult for me to keep control over.
    I'm also not much of a plan ahead type anymore. I have my basics on hand and it's whatever I feel like at the moment, IOW no prepping meals for me. Grab some carrots, hummus, couple clementines and there's my lunch.

    In addition to having different foods at most every meal, once or twice a week I'll rearrange the calorie outlay. My usual 500/700 two meal split becomes 900/300 when I answer the siren call of a full breakfast. Today's breakfast was eggs, sausage, hash browns, buttered toast and a sweet granola/fruit/yogurt parfait. So good and extremely satisfying. Tonight's dinner will be a spartan fish and greens affair.

    The constant change-ups really help me stay on track. Kudos to those who can eat the same things every day; I know I wouldn't last four days doing that.
