Unfortunately, eating healthy has not become habit; but, I'm starting to work on it.
Thank you again,

You're quite welcome. One of the things you'll find amazing when you start changing your eating habits is how good you feel.
I'm not good at eating healthy either, so I use a site advertized by the dieticians of Canada to track the foods I eat, to see what my daily caloric intake is, and what nutrients I'm getting from the foods I eat.
While Eatracker isn't exactly 100% it's good enough to closely monitor calories, nutrients, exercise and so forth. Based on your entries, it tells you how many calories you should be eating that day, based on your activity level.
I looked at one person's rating of the site, and wanting to smack them upside the head.
I think we can all figure out that if the site says - to maintain your current weight eat X amount of calories. We can also use deductive reasoning to figure out that if we take in less we'll lose weight, if we go overboard and take in more then we can expect to gain.

I also recently learned a lot about the genetics behind heart disease, if you're interested - I'll write more later.
