[quote=Anonymous]Yeah when I do this I lose a few lbs quickly. I don't count exactly calories but I am very calorie aware (a few years of an eating disorder where I did count calories stick with you).

A typical healthy day of eating for me is:
- coffee with whole milk. Probably 50 calories over 2 cups. 
- bfast is berries with full fat greek yogurt with a little maple syrup or cottage cheese. Probably 250 calories. 
- lunch might be big salad with lettuce, cucumber, avocado, jalapeño, corn, tofu, parm, croutons, a little caesar and little balsamic glaze (I like sweet/savory). Probably 500-600 calories. 
- I tend to have a snack if I eat a salad for lunch. This might be a small bowl of chips or crackers and some hard cheese or fruit. Estimate 100-200 calories. If I notice my pants getting tighter and want a snack I go for something like cottage cheese, almonds, an apple, or a string cheese (not chips or candy). 
- Dinner varies but about 500-600 calories of chicken/salad or veggies/sometimes a carb sometimes not. Often meatless. Tonight it was a rice noodle bowl with lots of veggies and various asian condiments, for probably 500 calories. 
- I'm not big on dessert but if I eat it it will be fruit and a very small scoop of ice cream or a popsicle or piece of candy. Also not big on wine but if I have a glass it's just a glass. I am more likely to have vodka and seltzer.

I don't do this every day and certainly do eat heavier more caloric things but sometimes I skip meals, so it evens out. [/quote]
