What 777 said is what I was thinking. MFP is particularly good if you're eating out often at chains.

I really try not to. But my offerings are slim out here. Subway is my healthy choice and i grow tired of it. I'm not entirely opposed to meal prep, but when i look around for healthy meal options i see a lot of "seared salmon..." or stuff that requires something other than a microwave to make. I know i can reheat salmon in a microwave, just don't care for the taste or texture when that happens.

Don't eat after 8pm and skip breakfast entirely.

I already do this, for the most part. I rarely eat breakfast except for the weekends.

Drink a couple of cups of coffee and pound water all morning.. I usually have had about 64oz by noon.

I think i need to up my water intake then. I usually drink about 3-4 16 oz. bottles during the work day, excluding what i drink at lunch.

doesn't take much time but I find it helps me tremendously during the work week (and saves money)

Taking baby steps, grabbed a salad from Rouse's last night for lunch today.

And if you can find time to work out, implementing a full body lifting routine 3x a week will help dramatically.

I do. I do P90X3. I've been doing it sort of half assed for a while, but since i noticed my weight gain i've been really consistent with it, outside of one 4 day stretch that i didn't do any workouts due to being sick. I've been pretty proud of myself recently though. Even doing the stretch workouts that i used to skip, and have been trying to do every workout, so 7 days/week.

Maybe i'm doing the right things, i've just been slipping lately. I just noticed a spike since January. Might be due to the crawfish/sodium boils, king cake, and nightly ice cream that until then, i didn't really eat.

Also, my beer drinking has ticked up since some of Parish's releases. I typically drink 1 beer with dinner every night. But i'm going to impose limits on myself.
