And I know it can all be solved with planning, but for some reason, I always fail to plan my dinners - I have the same problem with weekends. It's a big challenge for me, on that I have been working to meet head-on. For me at least, long gone are the days of spontaneous eating, to which I say "Yahoo!" (because look where we are!)<BR/><BR/>Jupiter said something interesting on the OH RNY site, that she knows that since she eyeballs some of her food, that the amounts are usually more than she records - not a lot, per se, but enough to make some difference at the end of the month. I've tried to take that attitude too, that, even though I walk more than I record (gotta get me a good, simple pedometer!) I probably also eat more calories.<BR/><BR/>One rule of thumb I also heard for snacks, that, generally, for every 10 calories you should have one gram of protein. So a 100 calorie snack should have 10 g of protein to really fit in with this program.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for posting this!cschoenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11440302952414493636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32254332.post-78384275052829146702008-09-23T21:49:00.000-04:002008-09-23T21:49:00.000-04:00Hey Pal,I get so inspired reading your blog, as I ...Hey Pal,<BR/>I get so inspired reading your blog, as I said last week I'm being faithful to my food log.

That says a lot as to how far you have come in this journey.. You are able to reconize and find solutions to your eating patterns .. I think that is a great thing and I hope that I will also be able to do the same. <BR/><BR/>Great Job !!

I reevaluated and started over this past week and I'm already down a few more pounds. Good luck.<BR/>KarenKaren Butler Oglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06467675086434536522noreply@blogger.com
