Food labels
So yea, I don’t know if I’m the only person to do this, but I find that after a long day of work, and I’m looking for a quick dinner, I tend to eat whatever is in sight, that will fill me up. I’ve found that putting portioned foods into containers makes dinner/snack time very easy. I label each container with the serving size/calories/fat content, etc. so that I can mix and match foods depending on how many grams of fat/protein/calories/etc I want or need. Does anyone else do this? I’ve noticed that I’m even coming under my allowed calories by doing this, and I don’t have to starve, which is nice.
Thinking back to the days (2 yrs. ago) when I hit the Atkins craze to go from 198 down to 150, I’m now realizing about how much easier it is to have controled, low cal/ low fat/low card diet, instead of feeling pressured into one food group. It’s nice. Though the Atkins melted weight eight off of me, I’m realizing that weight is being lost now, without a fad diet, and I’m eating the veggies and foods that are healthy for me.
