@aveline and
@<Gucci> have you tried
Hungryroot? The portions are big (I was not hungry between meals), the calories are low and the food is delicious - I was able to find a coupon (on retailmenot) for my first one, but I liked it so much I'm doing it again next week. Takes away some of the decision making and willpower stress if you need a break.
Thanks, I think I had heard of this once before, but I never tried it. I'm always skeptical of stuff like this, but I am curious. What has worked best for me so far, though, is that I just keep a list of pretty much everything that I eat in a spreadsheet, along with calorie counts and serving sizes, and I just use that as a quick reference when I plan out my meals for the day.
When I make something new that's not on the list, I just figure out how many calories the total thing is, based on what I put into it, then divide it up into separate servings so that each serving is in a particular calorie range. Then I can just weigh or measure that serving in some way and make a note of it for when I make it again. It's kind of a pain when you have to add new stuff, but after doing this for 3-4 months my list is pretty extensive and I don't even have to think about it anymore. All I have to think about is what I'm in the mood to eat, rather than what I'm able to eat or how much.
Maybe
@<Gucci> will find this helpful?
