    I did that for 30 days last September & October, and posted in on my blog. Here's the link to the "reflections" page at the end of my 30 days, and you can scroll through the previous 30 days of blog posts to see what I ate that month: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/rosebarnalice/view/reflections-on-the-30-day-you-are-what-you-eat-photo-challenge-774167

    i love this idea.. not only does it make u accountable for what u ate.. but, u have a pic to look back on, on how it looked in case u want to make it again.. or even better, to share recipes with others.. we should all take pics of our meals.. and share them.. we would probably all b healthier for doing it..

    Yummy! I find oatmeal pretty filling too. I just got a food scale and I realized I was eating waaaay less than the portion sizes, that's why I was always hungry and reaching for sweets. How do you measure your meals?

    For those posting pictures, can you include a description of what the item is and a rough calorie count for the meal?

    my breakfast this morning was 390 calories (150gr oatmeal, 70gr blueberries, 2 eggs, little bit of veggies, light string cheese)

    After I started weighting the food my portions got a lot bigger and i havent been tempted to eat "bad' stuff later.

    that's awesome! Thanks!

    I figure it's a good idea to post this information as it helps others! :)

    2 eggs= 140
    light string cheese=50
    veggies= say 50
    blueberries 50g= 40

    So you're only eating 110 calories of oatmeal mixed with water? That's less than an instant packet of oatmeal (160 cals). No oil/butter for the eggs/veggies?

    No, I completely cut off added oils, they have too many calories and I found that if I eat a bigger "volume" of food I still reach my fat goals
