    Sparkpeople.com will actually give you meal plans daily. The main part is, eat the right amt of proteins, fruits and lots of veggies.

    ok- just my thoughts but if you are overwhelmed STOP! Take a deep breath and pick start with one meal. Breakfast!

    Try good cereals- Lots of fiber and protein and low sugar. I like all bran flakes. I add blueberries and skim milk. 6 ounces of V8, some tea and I am set all morning.

    Try eggs (real or substitute) Scramble with onions, mushrooms and spinach. Very filling!

    Once you have breakfast under control- move to lunch and then dinner.

    Filling, healthy soups
    Salads- add protein (lean chicken or ham)
    Cabot 50% lean cheese

    Good luck

    I've been grabbing the Western Egg White Flatbread at Dunkin (only 300 calories!) and it keeps me going unitl noon. If I have time to cook at home I'll have Southwetern Egg Beaters with a piecoe of Canadian bacon and a little low fat cheese.

    I CRAVE carbs and that has been the toughest thing to cut back on. I've been having a cup of Trader Joes Quinoa Duo with Vegetable Melange - in the frozen food section. It's got an asian herb that tastes like ginger in it with chopped zucchini. Only 200 calories a cup. I bring that with steamed broccoli, some cherry tomatoes and grilled salmon or chicken for lunch. Filling and the whole thing was only 552 calories.

    For dinner I try to just have a big salad with lean protein or a couple of hard boiled eggs.
