lol....that's one helluva "oops". A guy i work with has a meatball sub from firehouse every Friday, like a ritual...i could see the look of enjoyment leave his face when i told him how loaded with fat and cholesterol it was....and the 1200 calories, lol.

My son: he just called to inform me he'd squatted 7 reps with 235. That works out to about 275. He's 5-11 162. He's shooting for a 315 squat and a 450 deadlift at roughly his weight.
A woman I'm training turned in a food journal I'd asked for that showed her getting between 500 and 800 calories a day ... and she hasn't lost any weight after a week of training. Further discussion revealed that she was leaving out entire meals ... including a foot-long Philly cheese steak sandwich one day! This is the kind of thing that has people convinced that calorie counting doesn't work.
this is not calorie counting. this is denial.
which supports my theory that being a fat pig is a mental disorder.
And this is only partially tongue-in-cheek when I say that if you have to be addicted, might as well become addicted to undereating. Acquiring leanness is better than any food tastes. No, my trainees don't believe me when I say this, at least not the ones who are presently overeating.
A suggestion for your "it's only one thing" lady. Carry a small notebook at all times. Anything passes your lips gets written down at once-even sips of water, chewing gum, etc. It can be a quick note to flesh out later when it goes into the real food log.
It is usually an eye-opener. Those "tastes" of this and that add up pretty quickly-especially for shorter, older women.

A 29-year old woman I'm working with got her first pullup today! She bouncing off the walls. Mind you, this is an impressive feat for a: (A) woman (B) who is carrying excess weight. She's gone from barely being able to bend her elbows, from a dead hang, to full pullup in less than six weeks. And of course the pullup is harder than a chinup. But God bless her, she wanted to do the hard version and she's nailed it.
My trainees inspire me. One of them has just established a world record for weight-loss. He took a cruise to Cozumel and ... wait for it - LOST weight. Another immediately cut out snacking. Then, as soon as he determined that he was still over his caloric allotment, elected to start skipping breakfast ... and lost six pounds last week.
