[QUOTE="LeeSouth, post: 2422344, member: 364026"] Breakfast is almost always 40/50g Porridge Lunches are things like Jackets w/cheese and beans, beans on toast, sandwich Evening meals are things like SW quiche, spag bol, stir fry, fajitas My problem is the snacking. Snacks probably account for 1200+ calories per day, maybe more. If I track what I eat I can see how terrible it is, and if I were able to stick to tracking properly for a consistent amount of time I think that in itself would make a difference - but like dieting I lose interest in it very quickly. Even as recently as last week I was tracking, but when the calories got too high I stopped tracking for the day and just started again the next day. I can certainly see what people are saying about low-carb diets and that is something I want to try, and I'll look into Kato as well - but I have a mental battle to win and I'm struggling to see how to get over that. I eat out of habit as much as anything else, and boredom perhaps. For example I had crisps at 945 despite only having breakfast at 8, just because I always have crisps at that time. I've spoken to people in the past that say "if you really wanted to change then you would" - but does this mean deep down I don't want to be healthy? [/QUOTE]
