Good morning! I just preloaded my breakfast and lunch for today into my diary and WOW! I am surprised to see that both meals will put me at almost 1200 calories! It’s too late to make a change, but hopefully this information will stop me from snacking during the workday. Crossing my fingers!

Good luck! At least you now have information that can help you to make different choices tomorrow if you need to. Wondering if you can adjust your portion size if you can't make a different plan? Like if you packed a sandwich eat only half so that you will have more calories at dinner?1

Looking at my breakfast and lunch, I can see that the biggest impact for breakfast is the walnuts I added to my overnight oats. I can certainly reduce them next time I make oats. As for lunch, it’s the cheese I added to my chopped salad. Cheese is definitely one of my weaknesses, but I can reduce that too. The salad is big, but I’ll still be hungry by 4 this afternoon.
I haven’t logged my food in a long time, so it’s going to take some getting used to and I’m sure there will be plenty of eye-opening moments!0 -
Good for you for getting started logging again. I love cheese. I used to make overnight oats all of the time, and I haven't made them in awhile, I'll have to look for some recipes. I like to put protein powder in mine. Hope you had a good day.1

Thank you! I was having trouble with the app yesterday so couldn't reply. Protein powder is a great idea! I rarely make overnight oats. What are you eating instead?0

One day I had 3 eggs with a quarter cup of shredded cheese and some salsa. The other day I had Dave's Killer Cinnamon Raisin bagel and some butter. Tomorrow I think I'll have whole milk Greek yogurt with some blueberries and some honey.1
