UGH. Idk what it is but I am just not doing well with calorie counting right now. I start off good and then later in the day I just don’t care and start eating whatever. Any tips on how to overcome this behavior? I think I may need to start eating smaller more frequent meals so I don’t feel like I’m dying or whatever. Been a little stressed and depressed as well which certainly isn’t helping. Really disappointed I’ve put over 10lbs back on. 😞
I log all my meals days in advance including snacks. It allows me to gameplan. I work better with structure.
Thank you! I may try to start pre-logging everything.0 -

Big time agree with @Megan_smartiepants1970 - Pre-log so you can adjust when things come up. That's a biggy.
Are you keeping a lot of snacks/sweets around the house that you can get rid of?
I have thrown away a lot of chips which are something I tend to snack on a lot but we've been eating out quite a bit and of course those meals are usually 1,000+ calories per meal.
The struggle is real. I'm not much of a cook so I feel kind of stuck right now.
Maybe go to Walmart and get the 100 calorie packs of nuts..I put them on salads for crunch since I am keto ...I also buy the little sugar free jello cups .... stock up on veggies with dip ... I eat salad almost daily with a steak, chicken, pork, ribs etc ..Just don't over complicate things ... You got this .. if you need more help don't hesitate to ask ... we are here to help

Check out wilde chips or hilo nacho chips... the hilos taste just like nacho doritos but way less carbs and they are in individual size bags. Wilde chips are made out of chicken and come in some dope flavors.
As far as going out- you have to do the to go container technique. Right when you order ask them to bring a container with your meal. When it comes out, pack half of it up so you have lunch or dinner the next day and only have to tack on half of the calories each day.
I've found some success in ordering meals from factor as well. I have them deliver 4 meals every week and get the keto variety. When in pressed for time, I just microwave one of those bad boys for 2 minutes and I'm all set.3 -

When you are eating out look at the menu online beforehand. That way you can find the best choice to make ahead of time. A lot of restaurants have a calorie friendly section.
When I was eating chips more often, I bought the Halloween size bags. My husband put them on a self I couldn’t reach and he was in charge of getting them.0 -
