<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

So first off, hey! I've never posted here before and just subbed because I want to keep my motivation high. I'm Female, 21, 270lbs. I'll be checking my weight every two weeks, because I prefer to see a larger amount of progress than a smaller one. Weekly check ins tends to discourage me for whatever reason.

As for what I'm doing, I'm cooking all of my meals one day, packing them up, and then eating throughout the week. Breakfast, lunch and dinner equal out to about 900 cal this week and that leaves 300 cal for snacks, so I'm eating 1200 cal per day. I allowed myself a bit more today (1700) and I think I'll keep this one 'cheat' day per week of 1800 cal to allow myself to eat some of the things I normally wouldn't during the week so I can keep a bit of my sanity.

As for the help I need, next week I'll be taking a 4 day trip to Austin with a group of people and we'll be eating out every day and at least one day we'll be going to hit the bars. I've never tracked alcohol before and we're bound to hit a lot of bbq places because of where we're going, so I'm just looking for some tips on how to stay in a healthy range (I'm going to shoot for 2000 cal per day as a max) while I'm away. Would this be reasonable, or should I allow myself some more so I don't feel super bad about going over my limit? I don't drink much as it is, but does anyone have any go to cocktails or beers that are on the 'healthier' side when they go out with friends? I'm pretty pick with beer (prefer hard cider), but I find I like lighter, citrusy beers or sour beer.
<bot>: Just started a diet change, going on vacation soon. Will be eating out erry day, bars on at least one night. Never tracked alcohol, need food tips too. Thanks!
