If you need a break from nutrition tracking programs, journals and
calorie counting try this:

Eat three small meals a day and two programmed snacks, If you can do
this without anything else being consumed you won't need to track much
of anything. And if you are tempted, get out and take a walk, do
exercises or take a bath. Stay out of the kitchen when not preparing
meals or putting away groceries.

Easy for me to say but my office is in the kitchen!

This post is very inspriing to me. I am in the process of swichting from
wieght loss to maintaining. I am am having a very hard time eating more,
because the good habits form my diet need to be cahged to good habtis
but with more kcal (I need to go from 1500 to 2000 kcal a day).

It is hard to find somewereh to fit the extra 500 kcal into. Because
I havbe been planning my meals and snacks exactly as you describe it.
The extra kcals have been coming from extra snacks. I am not enjoyiung
that at all. So to read that one can maintiam with my "old" porgramme,
must mean that I can stick to the habits I already had. No adding of
meals, I'll focus on making my meals somewhat bigger. I think I can do
that. SO thank you for saying that that is an actual possibility.

I hope I am making sense - in my mind, all of this is complicated. And
changing the clock here this past weekend has thrown me into a mini jetlag.

The best way to probably add calories for you is to just add more to
your meals. I'm sure you cut back a little and tried some lower-calorie
or fat alternatives when planning your meals to fit them into 1500
calories a day. So instead of a tsp of olive oil, for example, use
more. Add another ounce of meat or cheese. It won't add very much bulk
to your meal and you won't feel as if you're overeating.
