I have changed a few things as well. This is a great thread
I make smaller burgers than I used to. I try to get 6 or 7 patties out of a lb instead of 4 or 5. Huge savings in calories!
I also measure and count every bite of food that goes in my mouth. I record it in fitday, and am really careful to not underestimate anything. I literally count nuts if I eat them.
Another thing that's helped me is that I almost never go out to eat anymore. Restaurant portions are usually at least double what i would eat at home, even salads. I know my weaknesses, and restaurants are tough for me right now. Maybe in maintenance or when desperate.
I try to always be prepared. Havings things ready to eat when really hungry or wanting a snack really helps with portion control.
