Could we all make perfect food choices, all the time? I suppose. I prefer the approach of making good choices about 80% of the time. I love ice cream, too, and I do have it more often than is theoretically recommended. I guess I would have lost weight faster. Only you can balance out your life, because only you are living it.
If meat and veggies aren't your style, then try something like chicken or tuna salad, omelettes, meatloaf ??? I love salad, and that is in the veggie category.

Actually that is great advice and I appreciate it. I forgot completely about the tuna salad & chicken salads which I actually like. That is why sometimes just asking for suggestions prompts you to remember something new (old).
Also, this is the weight I spend many years at. Stuck for so long at 170 in my past makes me feel like it's a nightmare. I guess my body has a thing for this weight.
Meatloaf is a good idea too. I didn't used to like it but tried some recently and it was pretty good. That's what I think I need to break the platau is some variety. I've been eating the same ole same ole...
Thanks!
