If I don't watch every single little morsel of food (including sugarfree gum, cough drops, and Tums)that goes into my mouth, then I gain weight!  I have to log everything and keep it within my calorie budget.  I have to do that whether I exercise 3 hours a week or 15 hours a week.  It gets worse the older I get.

I pretty much eat anything.  There is no food that is not allowed but I try to intake the "really not so healthy" stuff in moderation.  I know I could eat better and it really wouldn't be that hard to do.  Bottom line is, I enjoy the foods that I eat and will continue to do so.  I also understand the consequences for eating the things that I do.  I've found a balance between moderation and indulgence that works for me and that's all that matters.

I watch every cheeseburger, cupcake, and ice cream sundae that I eat.

I make healthy choices as often as I can, but I don't deny myself much that I want.

comet the dog - 2007-11-08 10:56 AM i do my best to eat healthy, but its soo easy to fall to the way side and get lost there. at one time i weighed in at 240 and my lowest as of yet is 209 i am back at 213 today. goal 190. i dont log what i eat, maybe i should. those of you who do, do you feel it help control the bad eating?

I log my food and calories at livestrong.com just to help keep me "honest". I went from amost 220 in November to about 192 today on the way to 180ish as I train for tris. I eat fairly healthy with junk now and then and am just trying to find a good balance. Logging definitely helps keep me aware and encourages more of the healthy stuff.

I log everything and eat balanced 50/25/25 or better, 50/30/20.  I could work on less dependence on protein shakes and sandwiches, and more on veggies.  I'm switching from weight loss (45 lbs) to maintenance and want to change my focus to better nutrition.  Problem is I don't cook for myself, so I guess it's back to more rabbit food.

I did make some brussels sprouts the other day and had a very unpleasant evening.  Thank goodness I live alone and the dog just finds it interesting.  Embarassed

I am an admited food Nazi. All fruit, vegies, whole foods, organic all the time.


Ditto. I've seen a big difference in terms of what I can handle volume-wise and how well I recover when I've taken my nutrition seriousness to a new level this year.

Same here, but I'll admit I won't deny myself a sleeve of double stuff oreos on occasio.
