Many of us don't diet. We eat what we want. We just know when we are full. I can't finish a full burger from most places because they are huge. So I save half for later. For example, today I ate a watermelon tomato salad (if you have never tried it, it's fucking crazy good) 1.5 cups consisting of watermelon, tomatoes, cucumbers, onions, covered in balsamic, and a bit of lemon juice. For lunch I had a cup of crackers and hummus and a small bit of beef jerky. Dinner will most likely be a hot dog or a small burger because I am seeing a show. Still way under 2k cal. Beverages were 2 cups of green tea, 2 bottles of water, 2 glasses of wine.
