When I was in high school, I would have a soda and a candy bar for breakfast almost every day. If I did that now I think I would pass out from a sugar high.

I am going to log the basics of major meals, but not weigh stuff on the scale and go ahead and overestimate, since my estimations on portions tends to be off anyway. I know I will go over calories, but I am going to eat what I want to and enjoy it, but I will try to watch the portion sizes.
