For me, if I don't plan and prep, I'm more likely to backtrack. Restaurants add fat and sugar in copious amounts. That's why it tastes so good.
I meal plan and prep. I make a menu and buy only the groceries on my list. Then I come home and prep my breakfasts and whatever snacks, veg etc that can be prepped. I bought a bunch if 1/2 cup containers and fill them with pudding, an ounce of nuts or cheese cubes, cold veg salads, whatever. I don't always use the individual containers anymore, since I am not currently working. So I don't have to pack my meals to go. But I DO keep a scale and my measuring cups right next to the fridge.
Its pretty simple once younger used to it. I eat mostly the same breakfast, lunch and snacks for a week and I like not thinking about it. I have a busy life, as I'm sure most of you do. I'm not trying to make 4-6 food decisions a day.
