  • I also really love gummies and fruit snacks. I find the Smart Sweets gummy candies to be a really great low-sugar alternative. I also find snacking on a big bowl of frozen berries works really well when I'm craving gummies. Also, in general, eating a lot of sugar makes me crave more sugar, as does eating calorie-free…

  • I can't eat gluten either. My diary isn't open, but I generally base my meals around protein and fruit, beans, or veggies- I don't eat a lot of grains. So I'll have stuff like meat sauce on green beans with cheese, or fruit and yogurt, or tuna salad on sweet potato, etc. When I want to eat grains, I will make rice or…

  • I set mine to 40% carb, 30% protein, 30% fat. But in practice I just try to hit my calorie and protein target and let my carbs and fat fall where they may. Some days are higher fat, some are higher carb.

  • Thanks for the comments. In general, I am drawn to eat lots of veggies and fair bit of protein! And actually, I eat eggs, or egg white oatmeal for breakfast most mornings. But I also find that if I have rules about not eating junk food then I feel like I need to eat ALL the junk food, so it's much saner for me to not make…

  • Thanks so much for your replies and encouragement! Lots of really useful stuff to consider. Love this. I did log everything I ate, which feels like a win. It definitely wasn't worthwhile, but does not feel horrible either. I think, upon reflection, that part of what set me up for eating so much was feeling like I had to…
