issue staying within their calorie limit

Only once in a while do I have an issue staying under, but I have a larger amount of calories than most women.

I do sometimes. For better advice, we really need more information. It may be that you're not eating enough. It may be that you're eating the types of foods that don't really fill you up properly. It may be that you are eating when you're not really physically hungry but for other reasons.

ETA: you may need to experiment a little to find out a pattern of eating (eg meal timing) that suits you best. By no means do you have to eat breakfast, for example, but some people find it helpful for them. Some people need to snack regularly, or have lots of small meals through the day to keep from getting hungry. Other people do better with only eating once or twice a day, but having much bigger meals at those times. For weight loss, it doesn't matter when you eat, but you might have to find a way that suits your needs better.

I exercise so I can eat more. But, I also make my calories count most of the time. So if I am eating over my calorie limit it is not junk. (But sometimes it is. We are human after all. )

I changed my privacy setting for my dairy if you want to take a look at what i eat. I do have to say that ive also been a little stress but im gonna use that as an excused as to why i keep going over

Your diary is still closed.

what helps me is eating within a range rather than one specific number, anything from my bmr and under my TDEE with enough wiggle room to lose enough per week. But eating whole foods mostly, things not wholly processed with a treat sprinkled in here and there tends to satiate my cravings.

Example if i'm craving something sweet i wip up homemade milkshake, with banana and berries, hits the spot all the time. But majority of the time i don't stick to diet food, but watch my portions or cook healthier alternatives to my favorite meals.

Try what works best for your. I've isolated all forms of drinks besides water to make sure i've got the best bang for my buck, with occasional cup of milk for dinner or tea thrown in here and there

I reccomend looking for lower calorie snacks. I noticed in your diary that some of your snacks were higher in calorie counts, take some more time and look at different foods in the grocery store. stay away from cereal, those carry a lot of calories. Also try eating cleaner, more vegetables, more high protein foods, and incorporate vegetables in lunch and dinner. You will notice that once you start eating cleaner your body will start to crave the healthier foods. Take a look at my diary and see what Ive been eating if that helps. Im not a total health freak but I have learned to eat healthier and in return I have seen results.

checked out your diary.
MORE VEGGIES. not only are they good for you, they create a feeling of being full sooner, so you are less likely to over-eat.
I'm not a "carbs are bad" kinda girl, but you are eating a lot of grains and breads each day. Not only are they often calorie-dense, but unless you go for whole-grains, they often start that cycle of wanting more carbs/sugar.
More LEAN PROTEINS! You can have your fried chicken wings for 618 calories, or you can have a nice serving of baked/roasted chicken or turkey for 1/3 the calories.
Watch PORTION SIZES. 4 tbsp of Peanut Butter is 2 servings. 6.5 tbsp is over the top for sure. 4 slices of toast is about 4 times what I would eat at a single meal.

Lastly, cutting out things like bags of chips, sodas, donuts, 960 calories worth of pizza at one meal and pop tarts is an obvious way to get your intake under control. I love treats, you don't have to cut them out entirely, but you have treats with high calories just about every day.

hope that gives you some direction of what to look at.

thanks guys! all your input was exteremly helpful. like i said in previous post i have been a little stressed. so there are some stress eating in there. i typically try and eat a balanced breakfast a salad for lunch and a balance dinner i try to stick with the same snacks every day until i feel comfortable with changing things up. ill take all of your advice and use it!

You eat pretty well but like others have said, you have to watch your drinks. (Drinking problem? lol)

What I've done to fix area's of my food intake is look for the high numbers of whatever I'm examining (calories, sodium, etc.) and figure out how I can make it better. I really like eating so I make sure I get enough food for the calories I eat. ( I like beer but not enough to miss too many meals for it.)
