Reverse Food Log
Reverse Food Log. We log the foods we eat, but what about the food we don't? Pat yourself on the back for your willpower and dedication. What foods did you want today but chose not to eat because they did not align with your current wellness plan/caloric allowance? I'll start! -bbq chips -second scoop of caramel chocolate…

Cal splits per meal
300 cal breakfast 400 cal snack 1 500 cal lunch 600 cal snack 2 700 cal dinner Tried this on a whim and loved it. Anyone else do goofy splits like this? I wonder if it works because my willpower is greatest in the AM and wanes thru the day. Also there is the psychological novelty of knowing the next meal will be more…

Meal Names by Food Group
Check out the attached photos. Does anyone else use a similar strategy for guiding food choices beyond calorie count? What works for you?

What metrics do you like to track other than calories?
I like to check daily AM glucose and daily total protein, fiber and Sodium. These generally help me to steer food decisions in a helpful way and indirectly reduce over consumption. It's also nice to be able to hit one or two daily goals instead of calling the day a wash when it goes off the rails. What works for you?

Calorie budgeting strategies
What are some of the hacks/strategies you use when budgeting? One that works well for me is working in reverse. I log the most important meal first (bedtime snack) then my social meal with family (dinner) and then whatever is left is split up for the rest of the day.

No snacks. No sweets. No seconds. Except on days that start with S.
I'm in maintenance mode and only count calories when I start trending upwards. I've been searching for how to portion control without counting calories and the discussion title is the best solution I've run into so far. Is called the No S Diet. Pretty clever, thought I'd share.

What was your wake up call?
I just took a biometric test at work as an incentive to save on future health care premiums. I was super disappointed to see glucose cholesterol and BMI levels needed serious work to get into normal range. I've always watched what I eat in a loose way just to avoid going from chubby to super fat but never thought about…

"If it tastes good, spit it out."
That's a line from fitness guru Jack Lallane! I laughed when I read it and yet it really resonated with me. What are some other old school quotes and Idioms about weight loss. I'm thinking "A moment on the lips forever on the hips." Sort of stuff. No need for political correctness, lets hear what you've got!

Perspective
If your body was a business and you were the CEO and upper managment. If calories were dollars and you spent over budget regularly. If management decisions were deciding to eating junk food or healthy foods as investment choices and you choose the former... how long would you be employed?

Calisthenics and Jump Rope
This probably belongs in the motivation and support thread but I'd like to throw it out here. I would love to have some pals who do jump rope and calisthenics regularly. Seeing other people log exercise that I like gets me Jazzed! If that's you please send a friend request.
