It's crazy expensive relative to what you prepare on your own, and even less when you consider the quantity you're now eating.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345707698627227949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2793835059881088115.post-84147896606687281722010-08-10T20:31:15.763-05:002010-08-10T20:31:15.763-05:00Jason, I have noticed that it costs me a little mo...Jason, I have noticed that it costs me a little more on groceries so it evens it a little but I was spending so much between extra money for lunch and all the fast food/pizza that I'm definitely coming out ahead. I will be posting about how much I'm not spending a week on crap b/c it's actually quite a bit.Bradhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17114749642991920992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2793835059881088115.post-39951901315907049482010-08-10T20:06:52.495-05:002010-08-10T20:06:52.495-05:00Something else I was thinking of spurred by one of...Something else I was thinking of spurred by one of your comments. Although you've got me paying more attention to the balance of calorie type I'm eating every day, I generally haven't been counting much of anything whether it be calories, carbs, etc. What I've tried to listen to is just whether I've been truly hungry, only eating when I'm truly hungry, and only eating until I'm NOT truly hungry anymore (which is different than eating until I'm full). That said, I've been amazed at the quantity of food I no longer eat, while still being satisfied. Same with certain types of food. I was a sucker for cheese and salad dressing and peanut butter and pop. Now I don't really eat any of that and I really don't miss it or even give it a second thought. I was curious if you're finding the same thing. Sure, there are tougher days where certain things look good and I give in because I suck, but generally that's not been a huge issue.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345707698627227949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2793835059881088115.post-91843010787899661152010-08-10T19:59:05.948-05:002010-08-10T19:59:05.948-05:00We haven't officially kept track, but somethin...We haven't officially kept track, but something we've noticed is something you mentioned - how much money you're spending. We're eating less food, but we're spending more money on the food that we buy because it's better quality. The lean meats, less processed stuff, it all costs more. In the end, it's roughly a wash. I guess that's more of a personal observation from our end than a suggestion or question, but there it is anyway.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345707698627227949noreply@blogger.com
