OK...the weight's coming back on. I'm not sure where I'm mis-tracking...could be the "muscle-brownies" I munch on (I portion myself 1 cubic inch piece per day; filled with protein powder, dried fruits, and oatmeal stirred in to a regular brownie mix).
Could be my main meal...I enlarged it a bit....
I'm also in a quandry about my AM coffee...splenda or sugar? Powdered creamer, half and half, milk, or none/black?
Help!! Recommendations/comments welcome!

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Since I deal with calories, portioning by calorie content makes sense in my head, probably because I've done it so many times. I can tell you that your cup of coffee, with artificial sweetener and 2 Tbsp of fat free half & half or plain powdered creamer is 20 calories. Switch that sweetener to 2 tsp (8 grams)of sugar, add 32 calories to that cup. Use same amount of whole milk in place of creamer, the calorie count is only 1 less, go to skim milk and you cut that in half. Any way you serve it, your cup of coffee is not likely to be a big push.
Other intake however, can be deceptive. Things that logic will tell us is "good for you" such as dried fruit, can be shockingly high in calories. (BTW, one of my fav snacks is tropical trail mix) As Celia said, more details about what/how much you are eating will allow us to make informed observations and suggestions.
If you tell me what and how much (everything but the water) you put in your "muscle -brownies" and what size pan they are baked in, I can give you a pretty good idea of the calorie content in your cube. Same for the rest of your day. List what and how much you eat on a typical day and I will tell you about how many calories you had. I can also tell you where the largest intakes occur. That might at least give you an idea what part of your eating is giving you problems.

Thanks....I'll work on gathering that info this afternoon.
I do know that when I "go to bed hungry" I lose weight. When I don't feel hunger pangs at night...I'm gaining. Maybe I need to simply reduce the portions at night?

Posted by OldMetalHeadI hit a new weight milestone this week. Still trying for the six-pack.
Posted by OldMetalHeadThe hardest part for me is not falling back into old bad habits after meeting goals.

Posted by JonnaBononnaI had finally gotten back on track after gaining back most of the weight I lost a couple of years ago.
Posted by JurneeI have to say, as an overweight karate instructor, this is the one patch that I was ok with never getting.

Posted by DotLewis7 March 2020 - Diet Diary - Been quiet around here lately. I've not been on vacation, just keeping a low profile and trying to stay on top of things. Are those things incompatible?
