Any opinion on meal replacement?

For example, something like soylent or Huel.

I would never suggest soylent to anyone tbh. A whey protein shake will work

Thoughts on alchohol? And how to fit in with getting fit etc

Simple answer would this be have 1 drink a week if you need to (social purposes etc), stick to vodka lime soda for obvious reasons - low calories, no sugar. Finally, don't buy alcohol and store it at home. Just go out have a drink, socialise, come home get back to work.

Track the calories, stick to liquor over beer, moderation or at least not frequent

I've been using a food scale for 4 years. The autist in my LOVES it. Not only does it keep my quantities sane, it also shuts up the inner saboteur who likes to harangue me that I haven't eaten enough and should eat more. Win-Win!

Can you help me understand where you said divide raw amount of meat by cooked amount for accurate serving size?

16 oz raw chicken is 13 oz cooked. 16/13 is 1.23 ?

think about it like this. - you're comparing ratios.

if 16oz raw has 4 servings, then 13oz cooked also has 4 servings - but the weight of those servings change.

4/16oz * 4/13oz = 52/64 = 0.8125. Therefore 10g raw = 8.125g cooked. hope this helps
