MFP Critique for Newbie

Migulangl

Hi Guys, I have been doing MFP for about a month now and have lost about ten pounds which is great. I just want some advice about my diet. Maybe those MFP experts can give me some tips or pointers. I have been coming under calories most days but care about nutrition (I don't want to be skinny fat!).

Thanks,

Sorry if this is short and sweet but not much of a blogger/ social media type guy. I'm sure ill get better once a start posting more

Let me know y'alls thoughts

You need to make your diary public if you want people to critique it

Ohh sorry about that, told y'all I was new at this. How do you make it public?

Migulangl

Never Mind, changed to public

Im just looking for pointers like eat this not that or maybe better nutrition choices

Thanks

it looks like you depend on a lot of processed and fast food. Your calorie intake was on target, but the fat allowance went way over. I am sure if you track sodium it would be way over. I would stay away from fast food and rely on more non processed home cooked food.

Hello,
It does look like you eat out a lot, I do to. I would maybe try getting a large chilli and baked potato with sour cream and chives for lunch for the same calories as a small chilli and burger.

instead of fritos try microwave popcorn, you will get so much more !!!

they say eating soup before a meal you canloose 30% more, try a can of progersso light soup for between 140 to 200 calories instead of some of the heavier stuff.

I eat a chicken salad from subway with the sweet onion dressing every day for lunch for 340 cal.

you will figure out your own tricks the longer you go, your doing a great job !!!
