Nutrition

After tipping the scales at 197.1 on July 2, 2021, I have again started focusing on my nutrition and am trying to "keep intake to levels that will support exercise, but not body fat."

This has been really tough this time around.  I have been steady at 192.5 for about a week and have really not moved very much off of that mark.

Breakfast - Chai Latte and Clif bars or Duo Bars

Lunch - Sandwich, crunchy snacks, fruit another energy bar

Dinner - Meat and veggie or pizza or Mexican

Evening snack - Ice cream or chips

From June 2020 to October 2020 I was able to go from 195 to 180# in pretty short order.  I hit a plateau at 183# and struggled to get past it.  

I put all of the weight back on between October 2020 and April 2021.  I assumed the weight gain was due to reduced physical activity, but that was apparently not the case considering that I resumed normal if not increased activity levels in the summer.

That being said, it is time to reduce caloric intake to the point that I am hungry in the evenings and then take the important step of not snacking.
