This will sound like a paid testimonial, but a few months back I decided to try out one of those newfangled dehydrated powdered meal replacement things which are on the market. You order online, get a 3.75 pound bulk bag, mix two scoops with water, and you're good to go.
I usually use it for breakfast and lunch during the week, and maybe one meal a week on the weekend. It's a lot cheaper and healthier than most options available for fast casual around downtown, and overating is basically impossible. I've lost like 15 pounds since doing this without really trying or restricting my calories in any other way. Basically I only eat out now if there's a social reason to do so, not just to fill my belly.
