I decided to make a paper copy of the meals I normally eat for breakfast, lunch and after dinner and the calories for each meal. It has been very helpful lately now that I'm aiming to eat around 1450 calories to lose about a pound a week and hopefully be done with weight loss by the end of summer. Dinners are with the family and it varies every day and I usually build my day around dinner. For instance, if I'm having a 500 calorie dinner, I then know that I will only have 950 calories for the other 3 meals of the day, or roughly 315 calories each. However, I rather prefer to keep my dinners around 400, to give me a bit more during the day and after dinner. It really all depends on how I feel each day - some days, I am more hungry than others.
