We can't see it. You need to go to your home page, click "settings", then "diary settings" and make your diary public.

Man are you detailed!!! WOW!!

I eat really boring salads and stuff though (just lettuce and dressing and croutons) so I mean, I can't say much.

The only problem I see with your diary is that you don't log all the time. Besides today, I had to go back to last Wednesday.... then the Friday before that.... etc. Consistently logging will REALLY help you. Even if you have a bad eating day, log it. It helps keep you accountable.

Excellent Job!! Best I've seen on MFP!! NIce job.

My only suggestion would be to add fiber to the things MFP counts (my daily fiber goal is 30 grams/day). You're probably meeting or exceeding that, which is wonderful.

If you can keep that kind of eating up, you'll be rocking and rolling in no time!
I'm impressed!!!

Agreed. The only reason I didn't mention that was because I assumed (and we know what they say about assuming!) this was day one of MFP tracking. If not, yes, yes, yes. It's essential to log even if you have an "off" day. If for no other reason, than knowing how much "damage" you did. If you eat an extra 1,750 calories in one day, and the next day you are up three pounds, you can honestly tell yourself that only a half pound of that was from the day's eating. The rest is just "cargo" working its way through your system.

Your diary looks great, however I am wondering if you can try to divide your calories more? For example, 300-400 calories for each meal, or have your highest calories for breakfast, so you are not eating too much calories at night time? I have read that consuming 400 calories each meal really control appetite and decreases the need for frequent snacking.
