I have to agree with some of the posters about stop worrying about what you're eating.  I'm not very skinny (5'4 and 125) but after giving birth I was up to 178!  For two years I couldn't lose much weight (maybe down to 160). I counted calories EVERYday and made sure I had veggies, and dairy, and protein blah blah blah.  I was never satisfied and usually ended up staying on calories for just a few days at a time and then completely messing up. Then I went on travel and decided that I would eat whatever I wanted.  I ended up eating way less because I was skipping healthy food (not entirely, but not on top of what I wanted since they are still calories!) and eating what I wanted.  Sometimes that was cheesecake for dinner, sometimes it was a salad or grilled veggies for lunch.  I found that I didn't want to finish everything (I walked some...) but I also couldn't snack because I didn't have the opportunity since I didn't have a kitchen.  I lost 5lbs in a week! I kept up that philosophy and am now at my current weight. I normally try to just have a latte and a piece of good cheese for breakfast.  Lunch...again, whatever I want.  Dinner...whatever I want. I try not to finish every last bite. I actually like real food better than junk food so I don't eat a lot of processed stuff (average, but not the rule).  I don't snack except for a latte here or there.  Oh and as for exercise...when I started exercising a lot, I gained 5lbs because I got too hungry and overcompensated.  I started back just doing "gentle" exercise (pilates, yoga, climbing, hiking, short runs etc...not 10 mile runs) and I lost a few pounds again.  [/quote]
