Too many liquids?

[mandyjo 1]

I am 6 months out and I still find myself going more towards the liquids. I am eatting a lot of Soups and things such as that.... I do eat solids yet I seem to enjoy drinking my meals more then eating them. I think it is because I can have more of the liquid then the solids... So does anyone else find themselves doing this?

And I thought I was the only one. When I went from liquids to mushies, I still had broth at times. I am finally almost over them though, but on occasion I still have broth when I dont want to cook.

Not liquids so much but easy foods, yes.

I eat a lot of Soup, becuase I like it and its such a healthy way to get veges into you and its hot and satisfying at lunch time. Strangely though I have to eat soup quite carefully, I block up on it, I think its liquids and solids together, like drinking with a meal. Because generally I'll only eat home made soup, not canned stuff.

But when I track calories and choose healthy solid foods, I struggle to make 1200 whereas with my general, not thinking about it choices (which includes too many cookies), I'm easily at 1500 to 1800 - fine for maintenance for me, but I'd like to lose a little more, so too much to achieve that.

I think in one form or another, its a bad habit that most bandsters develop to some degree and you have to constantly remind yourself to choose well. Because a lot of the easier options I choose are certainly healthy enough, but I just can eat more when I eat them.
