I've stopped adding cheese to my sandwiches (most of the time). In all honesty, I can't really taste the cheese on a sandwich anyway - I don't even notice that it's not there when I'm eating it. And cheese is very high in calories compared to what I'm getting out of it (not very filling) and I've learned that I'd rather spend the calories on other things.

So what little changes have you made that help you meet your calorie goals?

    Coffee in the morning because I don't want to drink my calories, even if it's only 100 in milk.

    I have tried to avoid white flour and white sugar in general, which when you think about it affects a lot of choices.

    Hi,
    New around here. If I had to say I gave up anything its food that I can't know how many calories it has in it. I guess that means I eat out alot less.

    Beer, wine, margaritas....all the things that make life with a 13 year old daughter easier, lol! And I'm like Levi41 - If I don't know how many calories are in it, I probably won't eat it. Fear of the unknown!

    Ice cream sandwiches, peanut butter, and I've slowed down on Yougurt and bread. Oh Bologna. No Bologna at all. I still have a beer at night if...........it fits into my daily allowance by a huge margin.

    Me 2. I think before I eat... If I don't know how many calories are in it... I don't eat it. I feel like I don't really have to "give up" stuff I used to eat as much as plan them into my day.

    That being said.. I don't eat bagels anymore because they are waaaaay not worth the calories.

    Bread, cheese, milk. Probably good for you in moderation, but they were pretty easy for me to drop.

    I've cut my portions all around, but the one major change has been coffee and soda - I think it's made a HUGE difference.

    Coke, bread, salad dressing that are not fat free, ice cream, cookies...well most desserts, potato chips...oh my goodness. I can't believe I used to eat all that at one time! I allow myself a little nibble every now and then (truth reflected in food journal). However, don't eat them every day.
