I really can't believe how many calories food has, especially anything that's not made at home. What is in there??
My greatest challenge is figuring out how to eat less volume during the day. Binge eating is so much more fun! I also struggle, as a single, broke, college student, to not eat an entire serving of something, because I really don't have the money to spare. Eat the last fourth of a Subway footlong, or throw it away/save it for later (which is always soggy and gross); if given these options, I would rather eat it now than waste my hard earned, minimum wages. I've been working on separating large entrees into smaller tupperware, but it isn't always an easy or doable task, especially with salads or other perishable food (which is basically a requirement of healthy food!)
Does anyone have creative ideas for how to eat smaller servings without wasting any food? Who else struggles with actually enjoying binge eating? Any tips on how to crush my bottomless-pit cravings?

Get individual oat meal packages (some are higher protein) for breakfast. You just add water and pop in microwave. Pair it with some fruit. If you buy fruit in small amounts and in season, they are pretty cheap. You don't want them to go bad. Greek yogurt is high in protein and you can pair it with fruit for breakfast too. Hungrygirl.com has recipes in how to make eggs in a cup too. Protein keeps your blood sugar level. Sugary foods like donuts spike your blood sugar causing you get hungry faster and than want more sugary foods. When you get away from them, and eat healthier options, it will help. Yogurt and a box of oatmeal is pretty cheap. Eating out a lot makes it more difficult to lose weight. For lunch, you can get some light bread, lunch meat, (keep small containers of mustard or mayo) and some veggies or fruit. You can even have chips (just count out the correct portion). You can eat higher volume foods and still lose when they are healthier. Healthy fats like avocados can keep you satiated and help you lose weight. Make a container of guacamole and some count out a portion of chips (1/4 cup of guacamole is about 70 calories). The truth is you can weigh what you want or you can eat what you want. I wish there was an easy answer but losing weight takes a lot of planning and hard work. Get some measuring cups and spoons. Think of calories as dollar bills. You want to get the most bang for your buck with food. If you have a small freezer, get a few lean cuisine (or some other brand) type foods to do in a pinch. There are some pretty good dinners out there. I love Amy's brand. You can also walk through the grocery store and peruse the aisles for items which may spark your interest. Good luck!

These are all really good ideas, thanks for the suggestions! (Sorry for the late reply too) I actually bought quick oats and have been experimenting with how to flavor them without sugar, they're pretty good with honey and cinnamon. You're so right about weighing or eating what you want, but not both. Too bad it's not easier, but then it wouldn't feel as good when you achieve your goals! Good luck to you as well :)
