Thanks. I try to weigh and measure as much as I possibly can but it's tough to do that and still take care of all the other stuff in life.

Make sure you check your macros before diving into some empty calories. I used to treat myself to some candy if I made it to the end of my day with leftover calories, but I wasn't paying close attention to my sugar levels and was frequently going WAY over.
