Eat a protein heavy salad at night. Also, how many calories are you allowing daily and what's your day like? For instance I put in appx 5-9 miles of walking at work every day. If I'm not eating right for lunch and snacks, I'll kill an entire loaf of bread between 7pm and midnight. Oh yea! 43 this year! It's the new 20s I'm…
