  • Thank you everyone for your help. I bumped my calories to 1200, and tried to eat on a more rigorous schedule. I pushed my dinner to later in the day. I'm still using measuring cups, because I can't afford a food scale. But, I've been using the measuring cups coupled with the small, cheap, food scale I already had. So far,…
  • The problem with this is that I don't have a family doctor, I don't know who to see, and I haven't really got any money. One of the reasons I eat so much "bad" food is that it's cheaper.

  • I do have a scale which I sometimes use when I don't think the cups will be accurate. I use it for noodles specifically. It's a crappy little $5 one. All I did was make the noodles, mix in the sauce, added the cheese, and then baked it. Baking it added more flavor.
  • Thank you, I've opened it.
  • I don't know how to open my diary? Also, I don't weigh my food, I measure by cups and tablespoons. I'm doing exactly what worked the first time.
