I try to stick with around 1200 calories a day, loosely based on South Beach Diet phase 2 guidelines. I religiously record all food on my smart phone. I drink as much water as possible (carrying a refillable container with me everywhere I go, especially at work.) I am also very faithful about preparing my meals in advance. A great strategy that works for me is to prepare a bunch of lean meat on Sundays, packaging up portions in a vaccuum seal bag with veggies, then freezing. I then grab these meals and go each morning when heading to work. At lunchtime, I just zap a meal right in the bag for about 3-4 minutes. I also bring snacks (especially hard boiled eggs) with me and make sure I eat throughout the day to avoid getting famished. Working out has been a challenge. But in the past week, I've started walking/running early in the morning around 4:30 AM and so far so good.
