And don't worry about it.  When 'Total calorie intake = total calories
used' you stay stable.  Watch Songbird.  He eats more in summer when
he's expending a lot of energy on the garden.  He seems to have
indicated (post some time back) that as the work drifts down, he just
naturally eats less.  You may be shifting to that.  It's a good way to
be, eating when hungry (or volume control based on hunger).

  yes, in the summer i can eat pretty much anything i
want, but when the weather closes in and i'm not doing
much 1200 calories a day is enough.

  i do currently eat more meat than i would if i were
living alone but i also make sure to get enough veggies
and some fruits at times for the other vitamins.  the
more fiber you can eat is also better for trying to keep
off extra weight - it helps you feel fuller longer.

  what i don't do is eat a lot of carbs at night like
Mom does.  she'll sit and eat crackers.  to me they are
very sweet and not really worth the bother.  a square
of good chocolate and some peanuts hit the spot.  as
the evenings get colder and darker i also like to eat
more fats.

  the weakness for me and carbs are the cookies and
cookie dough.  really hard for me to avoid those.  if
they are not around i don't eat them, but they usually
are on hand.  sometimes i will have carrots and peanut
butter instead as a snack or even a whole meal, just a
few is satisfying enough to me.  dinner last night was
some mixed vegetables and a few crackers with peanut
butter on them.  that was it.
