I keep a food journal every day – every meal, really. If I didn’t do it every meal (every time I eat), I might forget things. That’s no way to control your food intake! And to control your intake, you have to keep track of what you are eating. I do it by counting calories and writing it all down. That is part of my mechanism for achieving weight control. The other part is getting weighed every week. That happens Saturdays. Today is for the food journal.
My food intake and calorie count
Breakfast – 1/2 slice Costco pepperoni pizza (355); 8 ounces New Orleans red beans (250); 2 mini kit kat bars (70)

Dinner – pretzels (300); beef jerky (90)

Snacking – tea with half and half (80)

Total for the day: 1815 calories (limit 1800)
Abbreviated philosophizing
I had unexpected travel today, so pretzels for dinner and jerky! I willl have more to say tomorrow. Sleep well and dream of delicious food!
