As far as calories go, I avg 1400 to 1900 depending on if my wife frys whatever we have for dinner. She counts them too. We eat a lot of ground turkey and chicken, made various ways. We did have beef fajitas last night and I grill some ribeyes maybe once a month depending on what is on sale. We always try to have some type of vegitable with our meal. I have been cutting back on what I eat. I actually strarted eating 3/4 of what I would normally eat and now I am down to about 1/2 of what I would normally eat. 2 of my biggest problems are that I may only eat 1 or 2 times a day and I can't sleep for crap. I understand people are working. I don't expect answers automatically. Honestly, I don't expect any answers period. I am just thankful that people are taking the time to help me try to get where I want to be.

Am I seeing the word fry in here, I'm hoping you mean sautee. lol
According to your stats you should be eating right around 2200 cals a day.
Eating 1-2 times a day is not the best, that means your eating around 700 800 cals a meal on average. The body according to your stats cannot digest and utilize that many cals per meal as well as bouncing your insulin levels all over the place. You really should try to eat 5-6 times a day ideally.
What I do and may help for you is prepare certain types of mini meals in advance and freeze them then you don't have to think about it, grab and go. I'm going to post some recipes that give you the macro break downs. Some of them are regular meals and some can be made, proportioned and frozen for on the go nutrition. I myself can throw a slab of chicken, fish or other protein source, a bunch of veggies and a carb source such as brown rice, lentils, yams or the such on a plate and am perfectly satisfied but that's me.
I have many recipes but there are some that I always have in my freezer so I will post them as well. It will give you an idea of how to construct meals and then you can substitute the foods you like as long as you follow the general macro's.
