before bed I was looking to eat so I had 2 saladas and a packet of mini pretzels
Oh and I had 2 glasses of diet gingerale through the day.
Well, I always say, no-one wants to get old, but it beats the alternative ( which is, of course, dying ).
You're eating a lot more than I am, you'll find down the track that your portions will drop, as your appetite control starts to kick in ( unless you do a lot of exercise, I sit at a desk all day ). But, the soy is the only place I'd look for sugar, and given that it's the only sugar in your day, and given that I doubt you are drinking it by the cupful, I doubt it's an issue. Portion size is a factor, for example I don't eat jam any more, but I make a chilli jam with chillis I grow and I still have that from time to time. It's probably 1/4 sugar, but I have such a tiny amount ( it's very hot ), that it isn't a big deal.
I have a cooked breakfast every day but our chooks are off the lay, so I am conserving eggs, I usually have mushrooms and proscuitto. The general layout of your meals is about the same as mine, with the exception of the size ( I'd never have two eggs or 2 bits of bread in one meal now ), and that I don't snack very often, and if I did, it would only be nuts or cheese. I also drink only water nowadays, I find I prefer it ( often with a squeeze of lemon or lime ) I think you're on the right track, just earlier on than me, plus everyone is different, your portions may end up being bigger than mine, and you may well continue to prefer diet drinks.
