    A few things
    1. Prelog- I bring all those items to work so I know what I can/cant eat. It also helps with dinner so I don't go and shove something in my mouth and find I'm way over.
    2. Snack! (goes with my pre-log)
    3. Leave open calories for a night snack. I always snack....
  • I recently started cooking vegetables with a hint of butter and pepper. Has helped me fill up on lower calories.

    I don't concern myself as much with my "daily" goal as I do with my "weekly" goal. For instance, if I go over my goal on Monday, I simply reduce a little over the rest of the week to make my "average" beneath my goal.

    planning, and staying away from sodas/high sugared fruit juices, etc! I used to drink either a really sugary juice or a glass of pop when I came home from school, not anymore. :) now I put some fruit in a pitcher of water! much healthier, makes me feel awesome about myself to be honest HAHA

    Planning ahead. Making sure the majority of my plate is filled with vegetables, protein second, starch third.

    More vegetables, less starches and not drinking my calories (unless there is alcohol in there, that's one exception I occasionally make :drinker: )

    Definitely pre-planning. I don't log everything the day before, but always check something before I eat it. Also make sure to get some exercise everyday.
