Things Are Getting Clearer

My food and eating tendencies are starting to become clearer because of my recording my food consumption in the Cron-O-Meter software. So, in general I am finding that:

• I eat less during the week (1200 cals average Mon-Fri)
• I eat more during the weekend (2200 cals average)
• Weekends are when I have more social events with friends and when I tend to ad lib more
• Eating out events are fraught with unplanned, unknown, or unwanted calories
• Mornings on weekends start out with a bigger meal first thing in the morning (140 to 200 cals weekdays vs. 300 to 400 weekends)
• Midmeals on weekends are usually a little bigger than weekdays
• Evening snack behaviour has changed for the better
• For meals, my vegetarian chili and bean soups have some of the best combined taste and satiety for the low amount of calories consumed
• Alcohol consumed early in the evening almost without fail has lead to excess calorie days and events

So, knowing some of these things my strategies are changing a bit so that I:

• Change my schedule on weekends to be a bit more like weekday schedules and eat less first thing
• Do not consume alcohol until later in the evening
• Try taking half of dining out meals home for later consumption

Hopefully these things help get me closer to my goals.
