You could try a portion control plate. There's a lot more wiggle room than calorie counting, so you'll have to be more aware of putting healthier options on your plate (you could fit a lot of calories in the veg portion by having green bean casserole instead of green beans. It just measures volume, so you still need to make sure what goes on the plate is a good choice), but no calorie counting or anything you can really obsess over. Is suggest getting something like this or this where you fill to the top of the compartment versus just a printed plate where you can pile food in one section.
I would recommend something like this over weighing your portions so there are no numbers you can obsess over.
If portion sizes are hard for you (which they are for a lot of people) there are a lot of plates like this available for sale that will give you a firm guideline. The trick really is to pile on the vegetables for 1/2-2/3 of the plate and then use the remaining space for other things.

Not really an answer to your question, but if you know she's in to coffee she would probably love this mug with a couple of glosses and a mascara inside. Or really any makeup product you think she'd like. That would open up your giftie possibilities while still hugging a theme you know she'll appreciate.
Here you go!
They come in a zillion different hair varieties too!
Probably this one

How about:
Really, on a Monday? I really like this mug someone linked to me from my last contest!
I bought my dude the Eiffel Tower set as he studied in France for a while, he liked it. I got him a whole bunch of stuff for his birthday, actually. I also picked up this cool mug. It was promptly stolen at his office. So I guess architects like it..?
See, you should have called... I have a TON of pudding here! :-P
Star Wars ones I have :)
I figured you'd rather have the Star TREK ones?? TOS too ;-P
u/nacho_cheezus i feel like this is right up your alley

Good reviews overall, doesn't seem as fragile as you might think.
Right here
I would suggest a mix between necessities and more so some wants. Example: His favorite cologne, socks, razor set, shampoo/conditioner and his favorite snacks/junk food. Maybe print out a picture of the two of you together if you have one (if not, im sure he'd love a picture of just you as well) and frame it? Candles are a safe choice too if you know what scents he enjoys.
Also I know you said he isnt materialistic but theres some cute sciencey quirky items on amazon: Beaker Mug Science Joke Mug Positive Keychain
His lip looks like a moustache, it's an underbite though. This site shows all sides http://www.shopplasticland.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=P&Product_Code=P30909000&Category_Code=

My husband uses one of these so he can carry the morning coffee without worrying.
This one on Amazon is pretty similar

You can also find a bunch of different kinds if you just search portion plates.
There's always blood with removing molars, right?
Thanks for the contest!
This is going to be long and boring, but this is sort of where I dump all these thoughts, so...
Eight months ago, I asked out this girl I'm really into. She turned me down. She'd just gotten out of a 7-year relationship, and also she didn't like me that way.
Cool, whatever. We've stayed friends. I still have a crush on her, but I've been mostly focusing on myself, trying to become a better person.
I've had a rough year and I was asking her to hang out a lot. A couple months back, she noticed and wanted to reiterate that we're just friends. We talked about it and I told her I still thought she was adorable but I wasn't looking to change things.
We started talking more after that. She was seeing a guy for a little bit but she didn't like how he treated her so she broke things off.
Then last month, out of the blue, she thanks me for "not being a jerk." One of her friends had asked her out and was a huge asshole when she turned him down. We had a long talk about relationships. I told her she's incredibly sweet. She said she just wanted to find someone who would treat her right. I mentioned that I knew a guy who would, she laughed.
Then last week, she suddenly left for her hometown. Got on a plane and took off for a few days. I was worried so I asked her about it. She had a family emergency, we talked for a while about how she and her family are doing. She hasn't told anyone else, except a couple coworkers who saw her crying one day.
I know she likes farmers markets so I invited her to come out on Sunday with another friend of mine. She brought a guy... she said he was a friend. I get the feeling if they're seeing each other, it's extremely early.
My friend was a good wing-woman, she would talk with the other guy and I would get some one-on-one time with my crush. My crush told me not to mention anything about her family, because she hadn't told her friend anything.
After we parted ways, she messaged me saying "Thanks! You're the freaking best." I asked her what she was thanking me for and she said "I don't know, for being so nice and putting up with me."
Yeah, so I have no idea if I'm making any headway or if she's categorized me entirely as a friend.
I got her a Christmas present. She's a bio grad student. I got her this Erlenmeyer mug. I'm going to put it in a gift bag with some coffee and tea, for all her late-night lab work.
I'm hoping to drop it off at her lab tonight. She usually works late. I'm going to pretend I happen to be in the area and ask if I can swing by. After the holidays, and things settle down with her family stuff, I want to ask her out again.
TL;DR: Hopelessly trying to turn a "no" into a "yes." No idea what I'm doing.
