People keep asking me how I lost the weight I've lost. I've been tracking my diet and exercise, almost since I started, with an app on my phone called calorie counter, and a synced website - myfatsecret.com. It lets you export your diary, so here it is. This is exactly what I've been eating from last May through September, which is when I lost most of the weight. I exercise nearly everyday except Sunday. I tried to make certain I had a bear minimum of 30 minutes of cardio activity daily, mostly interval. As you can see if you read through the details, I wasn't super vigilant about not eating this or not eating that. I ate out in restaurants, ate things that aren't necessarily healthy, but what I'm doing different is focusing on moderation and portion control, which has always been my biggest problem. I've been working (and still am) on changing my thought patterns to realize that I don't have to eat the entire of anything, but rather, cheesecake factory, crunch n munch, and my other favorites, will be here tomorrow, the day after that, and so on, and I don't need to fill up on it now. A few bites, savored, should be quite enough. I also, try to eat slower now.

The snacks listed are throughout the day, so basically, I'm eating something every two or three hours. I try to not let myself get hungry. When I don't get hungry, or eat as soon as I realize I should, I don't eat as much, and I don't crave starchy/sugary foods (crap).
My diet plan is probably a lot fewer calories than most people, but that's because I've abused my body fairly well in my early years, combined with having probably the most energy efficient body of anyone I know. Oh well, I did it to myself, and ya can't bitch about things you brought on yourself.
Hope this helps, it was fairly easy for me.
