First, making sure I eat everything on the daily list... then trying to get the others in 3x a week.... then working on limiting the others to 1x a week. and finally, cutting out the things in the 0x a week list.

I have a recipe for egg muffins (kind of like a crust-less quiche) that I make on the weekend and just keep in the fridge and heat up in the mornings. I suppose you could probably freeze them too. I believe I saw a recipe on here for a breakfast muffin that was quite similar. If you can't find it let me know and I will send you mine. "Of course its hard, if it were easy everyone would do it.

Your plan sounds really good! I tried to do it all at once and got a bit discouraged. I did not get my bad eating habbits in a few days so I guess I cant expect to loose them in a few days either. I Think I will try it again your way one list at a time. Thanks for sharing!

It's not really that difficult, but that's maybe because I live by myself and I can limit what I'm buying strictly to things on the lists. calories in < calories out. It's not easy, but it is simple.
