What am I doing wrong? Can someone take a look at my food diary entry for today?

    re: scrambled eggs versus Boiled or poached ... Scrambled egg usually has butter added, boiled or poached don't therefore less fat and less calories. Given the amount of oils and fats that the op is using each day, anywhere she can cut down has to be a help.

    It's definitely possible to cook scrambled eggs without butter, especially if you use a non-stick pan. Usually the butter/oil's for ensuring that the scrambled egg doesn't stick to the pan most times, there's not much difference in taste with or without either.

    You can also make them in the microwave without oil. I don't know if they would taste that great, but you can do it.

    Try egg whites with a couple of regular eggs added in. Then eat with chicken or add ketchup or hot sauce. Then nonfat yogurt 1 cup for mid morning snack. Then chicken for lunch, then 1 cup yogurt afternoon, then a healthy dinner like tacos. Same meals every day, but varied slightly. Also you can reduce carbs with whole wheat lowfat bread.

    I actually don't even use butter in my eggs. I use a tiny bit of olive oil. My issue tends to be when I make butternut squash with butter, salmon with butter, or using loads of olive oil when I make my veggies. I picked up that bad habit living in Italy. Has anyone tried the coconut oil cooking spray? Is it any good?

    Well...for todays entry you ate 2154 calories. Your goal was 1200 and you gained 341 calories from the exercise you logged. So you overate from your goal by 613 calories net. Not sure what your goal was set on (how much deficit) but that is pretty far off from your goal.

    I don't know your stats so I can't really try to esitmate your TDEE to know what that is like in comparison to what you ate...but its clear you are eating more than you set your goal to and I'm not sure why you are.

    As for what you are eating that doesn't matter so much for weight loss, you eat what fills you up and you eat enough protein and thats about that. Looks to me like you are getting sufficient protein so what you ate to get there not a big deal. 2150 calories though might be a bit much if you are looking to lose weight.

    What is your age height and current weight?

    Yup, you ate way too much.
