Frugal Dieting

As talked about yesterday, Americans spend a lot of money on food and drink. If you eat outside of your home often, you spend even more.
Two weeks in to this 30 day budget cycle, and I'm already at my budgeted amount for food/groceries/house items.
After seeing this I need to make two changes. The first change is adding another line item to my budget for household items (think paper towels, toilet paper, cleaning products), because right now it's getting lumped in with my grocery dollars.
The second change is an effort to eat more frugally.
I've begun to do this, but efforts will be increased.
Here is my plan:

1. I need to get to a point where I make a list and shop once a week. I've been known to stop by Hannaford 3-4 times per week and this alone will lead to buying too much.
2. I want to stick to a simple eating plan:
1. Delay my first meal as long as possible in the morning. I think there are benefits to the combination of intermittent fasting/calorie restriction, and delaying eating will shrink my window to eat and keep calories down (fast 16 hours a day, eat within an 8 hour window). I'm typically not as hungry in the morning, even after a light workout. The first meal will consist of a big bowl of plain oatmeal mixed with frozen berries.
2. Instead of a traditional lunch, I'll consume small snacks for the day, examples: hard boiled eggs, carrots/apples with peanut butter, sliced cucumber with hummus, hard cheese, mixed nuts w/raisins, etc. 
3. Dinner will always be simple, a plate that includes a protein (if you recall from this post, no more than 4-5 oz), a starch (potato, sweet potato, squash, quinoa, whole wheat pasta, etc.), and a pile of veggies.
4. If hungry afterwards, I'll have a serving of whole fat Greek yogurt. 
5. Alcohol will be kept to a bare minimum.

May not happen all at once, but I'll continue to work towards it. Daily improvement.
