Track your calories for a week so you can see what you are really taking in. 2000? 3000? 
Get a fit bit or an app to easily track calories (where you can put in "a piece of chicken" and they will give you a calorie range. 
Also track how many calories out. Once you get a feel for how many calories you need to eat to maintain or lose some weight, you can adjust your eating accordingly.

I lost 20 ish pounds 2 years ago by just recalibrating. Less calories, more exercise.

Some little tricks I *try* to adhere to:

* No more eating after 9pm (my version of if)
* Lots of water/liquids to feel full. 
* Limited sweets. I ask myself if I really want it. 
* I try to think of food as true nourishment and eat super healthy. No take-out, everything cooked at home. [/quote]

Sorry to bring up an older thread, but if you're not eating past 9pm as your version of IF, what time do you resume eating the next day? I'm curious because that is my major challenge to sticking with 16:8 IF since sometimes I don't have dinner until 7/7:30pm so not eating past 7 is hard for me to stick to.  Does not eating past 8 or 9 still have the same effect if you fast until 12 or 1pm the next day? Just seems like a long time to wait again to eat...plus I work out at night after the kids go to bed (it's the only time I can clear my head to work out--morning does not work for me), so I'm hungry the next AM! Maybe IF just isn't right for me. [/quote]
