Since I have changed my diet to a low fat vegan diet I haven't really "reduced" the quantity of food I eat, I just eat different foods.

But now that I am down to the last 15 lbs to where I want to be (Normal weight to my body mass index[BMI]) I need to pay a bit more attention to what I eat - especially when I walk in the door from work.

As my dw and I are discussing what has gone on during the day, etc. I stand in the kitchen eating like I haven't eaten all day. I probably consume 3-500 calories. Quick bowl of cold cereal or two, crackers, raisens, nuts, etc. Then I can plan dinner! I do eat protein for every meal.

This isn't a vegan thing, I have always done this - but before I would snack on cookies, chips and my favorite -- eating ice cream straight out of the carton -- before I'd fix myself a bowl!

I have tried having an apple the last 1/2 hour while I am at work, etc. but when I hit the door I am hungry - or maybe it is habit. I do eat breakfast and a good size lunch, afternoon snack, etc.

Anyone else like this? What have you done to curb it?
