fat/carb/protein ratios - As I get closer to goal, my fat has gone down some (see calories below), but I still eat around 60-65% fat most days, I'm at about 40 g carbs and working my way up (finally! too scared before), and have increased my protein from my usual 90-100 g on days that I workout hard to about 125-135 g.

calories (controlled or not) -- sort of. I keep an eye on them so they don't get out of control. Generally, I'm around 1500 per day now. But during the period I lost most of my weight, I was averaging around 1700-1800.

portion size (controlled or not) -- definitely yes - more so as I get close to goal, I simply don't need as much food as I did at 215, or even 180. I eat until satisfied.

number of meals/day: 3 meals. I count my daily espresso as a snack. May have one other small snack.

total carbs or net carbs? types of carbs? 40 carbs now, net 30. Spent most of my time at about the 20-25 g net range. Veggies, yogurt, daily berries, other fruit, Splenda, cream (2 oz avg), 1-2 oz cheese maybe, 1 oz nuts, .5 cup sunflower seeds, etc. I learned the hard way to avoid most LC products

AS/sugar? 2 tsp Splenda daily, not much else, very occasional diet pop with nutrasweet (like once a month or less) with cream in a faux float.

stall breakers: Haven't ever stalled when I am on plan

exercise: avg 1x per week in main weight loss phase, now avg. 4 x per week, biking and some weights

times of day to eat: don't really worry about this, though I try not to snack after dinner.

medications as stalls: none
