I have discovered I am a convenience eater. Which is to say i eat what is easiest to get to. What this means is I need to keep well stocked on the healthy choices or I end up going for the less good. Still I keep it below goal.

You might try a Frugal Gourmet kind of trick and go on a cooking binge on the weekends. Spend a day making a good winter stew that you won't get sick of for a good long while. (Kale is in season right now. It holds up great in stew and soup, and is very yummy.) Then you'll have some leftovers designed to be lefotvers in the fridge and you'll have an option even more convenient than the Krystals.

I know you're a chili hound from way back - try making it true Texas style, with just meat and spice, no beans. Braise a lean cut of meat like a London Broil for a few hours in Natural Goodness chicken broth from Swanson's. Shred it with a fork whe it's falling apart. Then let it cool in the pan juices.

When you want to make it chili, just add your chili spice and go. Purists don't even use tomatoes. And crank the fire to the max, and have a lot of water on hand. Might do the trick nicely. If nothing else, it'll provide a new and exciting way to sweat off the calories...
