    Mine is public. I'm not perfect, but I do try to be honest about my slip ups in my diary and keep them the exception and not the rule.

    Keep in mind none of us are perfect! In the beginning, I gave my self one cheat day per week to have whatever I had been craving, without guilt. That cheat day has shrunk down to a cheat meal, and sometimes I don't even do that anymore.

    It's all an evolutionary process. Be proud of whatever steps you have made in the right direction - there are sure to be many more to come! :happy:

    I think I do well with eating. I don't eat fast food, junk, chemicals, preservatives, artificial colors or flavors, any ingredient I cannot pronounce, white flour or sugar, soda, etc. Oh, I'm Vegan and eat all natural and as much organic as possible. I love food. But the good stuff. :)

    You should eat breakfast first thing when you wake up.
    Also eat lunch and dinner. Each of these three meals should be between 300-500 calories and balanced with 15-30 grams protein, 30-45 grams carbs, at least 5 grams fiber, 20-30% total fat, no more than 700 mg sodium and consist of protein, slow carb and fast carb with a little healthy fat.
    You should be eating snacks between meals so that you are eating every 2-3 hours while you are awake. Snacks should be between 100-200 calories each. Some good snacks are raisins and nuts, apple with almond butter, popcorn.
    If you follow this your calories shouldn't be an issue, they will fall in line. 1400 is a good number.
    Drink LOTS of water and don't buy foods that list any type of sugar in the first 4 ingredients.:smile:

    Mine's public, though the last few days have been "treat heavy" as I'm having a staycation right now.

    Trouble is, it would only be any use to those of us in the UK as it contains a lot of ready-prepared healthy eating meals. We are blessed here, as there are companies such as Tesco who pledge that their meals will never contain any ingredients that you would not use in your own kitchen - and in fact they are lower in salt than they'd be if I'd cooked them LOL.

    Below is a recipe for Italian chicken - though next time I'll use half the olive oil. I measured 1 tbsp and dumped it in the pan, only to realise it was more than I'd been using anyway!

    Ingredients Calories Carbs Fat Protein Fiber Sodium
    Roast Chicken Breast lean only16 oz 752 0 16 112 0 336
    Red Onion Raw, 300 g 114 23 1 4 5 0

    Total: 1312 69 35 128 8 1546
    Per Serving: 219 12 6 21 1 258

    EDITED TO ADD: Sorry, the numbers all lined up before posted them. This site really does need a post preview feature!

    I'm not perfect... and tend to prepackaged lunches (although I keep 'em low sodium), but we do a lot of homecooked stuff too.

    Mine is public. Feel free to check it out. I do try to have a cheat meal once a week :)
