any suggestions on my diet?

I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003OATAZ4/ref=twister_B005Z68DT4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

It doesn't have a setting to automatically turn itself on/off but I don't need that particular feature anyway.

You can still incorporate some fast food into your daily diet & still lose weight. Most fast food places offer healthier fare & you could even work in some of your higher favorites once in awhile.

For recipes you can find a lot of interesting recipes on Pinterest & do searches for different ways to cook chicken, fish, casseroles, healthier desserts, etc.

I think you are doing a good job with choosing lots of fruit. You've got some high calorie choices that in my opinion aren't very filling. Are you losing weight and feeling good?

if you don't have an activity tracker you should consider getting one. most of them will link to MyFitnessPal, and they are a great motivator. I got one over 20 weeks ago and have lost 25 lbs. so far. they also track your activity calories automatically so you don't need to do the math. just get your activities in, log your food, and stay under your calories. i set mine to lose 1 lb. per week, and that is exactly what i have been loosing.

as far as your diet goes... eat a variety of foods to get your overall nutrition, and stay under your calories. try to avoid too many wasted calories (junk food), and replace with more nutritious foods like fruits/vegies.

hope this helps.

Well, I'm a mom of 3 little ones - 5, 3, 1. They are all active and rowdy and ALL OVER THE PLACE! Some suggestions I have are to buy A TON of frozen vegetables. Cook them up in a little bit of bouillon, maybe with a little lowfat cream cheese or mozarella on top if you like and have a large serving of veggies with every meal. Also, have a prep day where you cook yourself up your protein of choice, be it chicken breast, lean ground beef, lamb, turkey, fish, whatever you like. And make up a big thing of rice or quinoa or potatoes on your prep day as well, or a few different carb sides. Or buy instant or already cooked rice or quinoa that you just have to heat up. You can mix up your meals that way, a protein, a huge serving of veggies and a carb side. Also, allow treats. I need to have some chocolate, well, maybe not need, but I would be very unhappy without it. So make room for some treats but don't keep a bunch of those on hand, so they aren't too tempting. Also, find a few fun go to recipes. I like to find different protein pancakes and put some no calorie syrup on top. If you make most of your foods real nutrient dense, you won't be hungry all the time and you'll be able to fit in some processed stuff here and there.
