Surely in all of that reading you came across the distinction between prescribed meds and OTC "suppressants." Surely.

Or maybe I'm too old to do what I like. Also, just because people don't like to exercise doesn't mean they don't exercise.

Pizza Hut has thin crust. A slice is usually 1/8. You should be able to get pretty close from that.

Might just be not enough calories. You might try back loading the day a little more.

The first three pieces of candy corn are awesome. After about three, I start to wonder how the first three could've been so good.

Yeah. It's like paying taxes. However much it sucks, not doing it will end up sucking even more.

Are you saying that vegetables aren't typically carbs?

I have a better one for you: notice that I wasn't quoting or replying to you.

Weigh the marinade before and after and divide the difference across all the chicken. See if the calories are enough to mess with next time.

If you're on board with the macro breakdown of a 1300 calorie burrito, it should be fine.

I don't make homemade mushroom soup, fresh green beans cooked with salt pork -- how would I separate that? -- beer battered onion strips, and get awesome sharp cheddar just to sort it back out. Three more weeks...

Even in a sauce, the texture is just terrible.

Aren't the vegetables carbs?

Too bland.

Fun fact: I know Mrs. Renfro.

I do. I buy the groceries. They don't.

Other than those protein and fat things, yeah. Carbs are only a subset of calories for everyone not on the 100% carbs diet.

Again, I think you're missing the issue underlying the question. Eat at a deficit? Maintenance? Surplus? Try to keep your week in line? Accept that this week will be above goal or even above maintenance? Or don't? It's not about tracking what is eaten. It's about deciding how much differently to eat, if at all, on a…

Three-fourths of a cupcake a week, even if all 27 have birthdays during the school year!

Maybe you're missing that the issue isn't necessarily even the planning, but what to plan.

Who's giving those kids the lollipops and donuts, then?

I mean that some kids, and adults, naturally don't like X as much as others. Food is one X. There are a near infinite number of Xs.

Why do some seven year olds like math or dinosaurs or the color orange or brussels sprouts and some don't? My younger daughter is a bread and carb fiend. My older rarely even eats desserts. I'm not really sure why it would matter why, in a practical sense.

I can say with 100% certainty that I have never experienced the release of endorphins from exercise. I hate it. It sucks. It isn't pleasant. Now, habaneros and ghost chilies? Those bring the endorphins.

Maybe they're just different people who can't be expected to be identical in appetite, behavior, or preferences. What makes some kids brattier?

So I can eat more.

I plan on eating at maintenance or a little above, so 4-5000 calories a day, on Thursday and Friday. Most of that will be chocolate pie, but I'll fill up on turkey and smaller portions of the side dishes. It's just a couple of days. Don't make it more than it is.

It sounds like eating it less often, if at all, is the way to go for you.

Why isn't "understanding that sugar isn't addictive, doesn't have power over you, and is just like any other tempting food or behavior that must be managed" a strategy?

Peanut butter and ice cream.
