I love noodles. They had one at my college several years ago before they started getting popular and they have stayed the same. The food is good quality and tastes great. I agree that portion control is key.

My food journal has become a super important tool for me. I am a big fan of http://myfooddiary.com. It costs a few bucks a month but for me it's worth it. Not only does it keep me honest, but it reveals the naked truth about the nutrition content of everything that passes my lips. I've been calorie-conscious for as long as I can remember, but I am still occasionally surprised by calorie counts of certain foods. Also interesting (and useful) is watching your ratio of fat / carbs/ protein, as well as stuff like sodium intake (shocking!).

Sounds like an excellent choice.

A food journal has really opened my eyes. It won't be permanent for me, either, but for now it is a useful tool.
I have actually been having fun at restaurants lately because my new eating habits have made me branch out and try new things. The side effects that I love are:
No sickening feeling of being too full and I really, really taste my food.

A food journal really helps. I have been slacking on mine lately. I can't imagine doing it for the rest of my life, but it sure helps to keep me in control now.
