Drop the Snacks

Over eating at meals doesn't really seem to be the problem.  The average adult male can consume 2000 calories and maintain their weight.  Since I dont eat breakfast that means I could have 1000 calories each for lunch and dinner.  EASY!  If I don't snack.  7 tortilla chips is 140 calories.  A handful of peanuts is also 140 calories.  I use to keep a bag of Doritos beside me while I was cooking dinner.  The dinner may have been 700 calories but I would have consumed 400+ calories while preparing it.  Add that to a handful of peanuts everytime I walked past the pantry and I was way exceeding my 2000 calories per day.

Drop the snacks or at least account for them.  I have found that no sugar added apple Sauce makes a good 50 calorie snack.  Special K also makes a good breakfast bar that is 90 calories.
