    thanx guys for the advice.. a "Typical" day for me lately has been a coffee cup of instant oatmeal for breakfast.. lunch (my biggest meal of the day) is a "takeout box" sized salad with fat free dressing and NO cheese and/or coutons ... and dinner is usually just a serving of the whatever meat the rest of the family is eating for dinner that night .. This WITHOUT the salad would account for about 600-700 calories for the day ..

    Any suggestions for maybe a better strategy?
    I learned a lot from viewing other peoples food diaries and asking questions about what people were eating. I sought out friends who had open diarles and were good supportive people. You can learn some essentials by paying attention to the good forum topics and really doing research on proper food balances - for example, I never gave up carbs because I know they are essential to a healthy diet, but I changed my carbs to be the good kind.

    Good luck
