There are 100s of ways to get control of your fatness. Distillthe 100s down to putting pen to paper and plan out your meals for the week. Out of planning comes: semblance of a macronutrient ratio plan (if your meal plan is making you fat, change your ratios), portion control plan (you need to plan how much you're going to cook), nutrient timing plan (you know when you're going to eat, as you can predict prep time, or better yet, have it prepped ahead of time), quality control (no one plans to eat cold pizza for breakfast and grab McDonald's twice a week) satiation (no one spends time cooking a planned meal and then adds in 3 Cheetos snacking sessions to make up the hunger delta), money cost savings (predictable budgeting, eating in is less on average than out, also factor in cost of gas driving for fast food), time cost savings (batching prep and reheating is less than time in the car getting every incemental meal either from the grocery or a fast food joint), brain power savings for decision making (you don't have to switch tasks to come up with something to eat multiple times per day, instead batch the decisions to 20min/ wk).
