Do you guys have a certain time that you stop eating? Like no eating past 9:00 or no? Does it matter?

Well, I was told that it really doesn't matter more calories in calories out. I know a lot of people stop after 7 PM. I don't get home from work till 6:30 so 7 is dinner time.

My doc doesn't have a rule about when to stop, just that we eat 5-6 1 oz meals per day and that the first one must be within one hour of waking up. I never liked going to bed with a full stomach, but given the amount that we are able to eat, I've been okay eating right up until bed when I needed to get the protein in.

Thanks guys....do you use scales to measure your ounces??

I just use measuring cups to keep track of ounces

ok so let's say I cook a cornish hen do I just cut pieces until I fill the cup?

I purchased the one ounce containers made by Rubbermaid. We also got the ones that show 4 oz but have marks where 1 and 3 oz are.

Good luck.

thank you I guess it's time to do a little shopping lol

I use the measuring cups for liquid items. For Protein I weigh my meat. The amount that I can cram into a 2 oz portion cup is not 2 oz of meat.

I also went to Sam's and purchased a case of 2 oz portion cups so that I could limit the sizes for things and have to use a huge bowl for my 1 oz servings. Worked great when I was making the Jello for the liquid phase.

I also use the disposable 2 oz cups and I found some 1 oz salad dressing cups that work well too at Big Lots. They were cheap and it is helpful to have both sizes.
