Musings and journal entry for 10/22/15

I realize that I do consume more calories at lunch time than I do for the rest of the day.  I realize that also, over 1000 calories per meal is a lot.  If only I could have "spread out" the calories that I have eaten.  Other than that, I am okay with it since I have consumed less than the 1800 calorie limit.  I consumed the most calories during the afternoon.  If not, nearly all of the calories I have consumed today were consumed between 12:30 PM- 3:00 PM.  Sure, the food was great, but I also realize that I did not consumed foods in moderation at times.  However, I did do a good job in measuring my foods, but I do have a bit of a problem eating smaller portions.  I could do a better job in that. However, when I do measure out my foods, I realized that 1/2 of rice and a cup of beans are actually quite a lot.  One serving of a plate of food actually fills me up.  That is the lesson that I have learned today.  Here is my advice to me: make smaller changes.
