Same goes for me: Lake Hollywood is closed so I can't even go on walks or runs, so I'm eating the bare minimum for most meals because I know I'm not going to be able to burn as many calories as normal.
This probably doesn't apply to the under-40 crowd but for those of us over 40, counting calories each day has become a real thing for me.

Yeah, I keep reading about the COVID 20.
Man, stress and the fact that you simply cook less for yourself than the restaurant gives you and I've lost about 14 pounds over the last 3 weeks or so.
I dunno how some folks are getting heavier. The LAST thing I want to do right now is eat. I've been having a bowl of mini-wheats in the morning just to have something in my stomach when I take zinc (more to stave off the inevitable spring cold that will freak everyone out than anything) and then dinner. I figure the only thing keeping me near 1800 calories a day right now is a couple beers most evenings.
