Strawberries and nuts are real and whole foods. The LC ice cream is not. Save the ice cream for later. For now, I would add just one thing at a time. Try one week with either one serving of nuts, or one serving of berries (not both) every other day. If that works for you, then try alternating them on a daily basis for a couple weeks. Or, you could try just the nuts or just the berries to start out with. This way you can see whether or not you have a quantity control problem or a craving problem with either one.

Taking advantage of FitDay is an excellent suggestion. It was an eye opener for me.

One other point, are the nuts salted? Perhaps there is water retention from the salt. Even a single serving of salted nuts has quite a bit of sodium. You did not say what kind of nuts they are. Some have a much higher carb and calorie count than others. As to the berries, are you eating them as is or with whipped cream and Splenda? More carbs and more calories from the whipped cream if you have added them to the berries.
