I try to eat pretty decent and I try to eat at least 3 meals a day. Yesterday was a good day.

I had my usual breakfast, a bowl of cereal (Lucky Charms, hey they are magically delicious) with skim milk. Around 10 AM I had an orange for a snack. For lunch I stopped by the Food Lion and picked up a thing of fresh pineapple. After my workout I had a couple more chunks of fresh pineapple. Then for Dinner we all went to Firehouse Subs and I had a “small” club on a sub.

My wife and I eat out a lot, I mean a whole lot. We go out to eat probably 4 nights a week. Most of the time it is to sit down restaurants, but sometimes it is fast food.

My whole out look on this is I don’t want to really change what I eat, I don’t think I eat that bad. I do however need to work a bit on portion control. Just like lastnight at Firehouse Subs - I had to make a decision between a large sub and a small sub.

The large sub would have been good and I could have eaten it all and been very satisfied, instead I went with the half-size. The half-size sub was also very good, it had all the same stuff as the large one - ham, turkey, bacon, cheese, lettuce, tomato - and after I finished eating it I was just as satisfied as I would have been if I had stuffed down a whole sub.

Portion control is what I want to focus on and it is probably going to be one of the hardest things to get a handle on.
