6cc in band and no restriction?

[ElfiePoo 109]

I think I'm one of the oddballs. I don't journal my food. However, I also believe in the K.I.S.S. principal (keep it simple stupid). When things get too complicated or task involved, I find I drop them fairly quickly so it's best to just k.i.s.s.

I tend to be a creature of habit so my meals are at the same time every day.

6:30 a.m.: 1 cup hot green tea

7:00 a.m.: Breakfast and it's the same every morning...double scoop EAS Protein shake in 2% milk.

9:30 a.m.: EAS ready made Protein Shake (110 cal, 3 carbs)

12:00 p.m.: 2-3 oz Protein, 1/4-1/2 cup vegies and 1/4 cup carbs (rice, potatoes, Pasta, beans) although lately I've been swapping the starch carbs out for 1/4 cup fresh fruit.< /p>

2:30 p.m.: EAS ready made protein shake (110 cal, 3 carbs)

6 p.m.: 2-3 oz protein, 1/4-1/2 cup vegies and 1/4 cup carbs (pasta, rice, potatoes, beans)

8:30 p.m.: EAS ready made protein shake (110 cal, 3 carbs)

If I'm really craving a sweet treat, I'll have this about an hour after my shake. Many times, the shake takes away that craving enough that I can say, "I'll have it tomorrow if I want it."

I'm in bed by 10 or 11 p.m. so I don't deal with cravings (if I have any) for too long in the evening.

I do not count may shakes as part of my 64 oz liquids to I'll fill up my 20 oz Water bottle (usually with crystal lite of some flavor) and I make sure to drink one between Breakfast and lunch, one between lunch and dinner and another in the evening.

My Proteins are pan fried, grilled or roasted and when I pan fry I use minimal (like 1 tsp) of olive oil amounts of fat. Vegies are usually steamed because I happen to like them that way and I don't usually add anything to them except a sprinkling of parmesan cheese or a pat of butter (pat similar to what you'd get in a restaurant).

I know this probably sounds boring to some people, but I don't have to think about my meals beyond "Do I have protein and vegies in my fridge?" and there's little to no planning of meals...or journaling.
