My job is only somewhat physical, akin to a plumber or electrician. For dinner tonight I had 2 heaping tablespoons of cottage cheese, 1 ear of sweet corn (with butter of course), and 1 margarita. I think it all boils down to metabolism as I’ve never had a weight problem before the age of 40. Now at 50+ I think my metabolism is slowing down , probably due to muscle mass loss from not hitting the gym like I used to.
