YOU ARE ALL SO NICE! Thank you!

wow you look amazing! i'm the same height and trying to get to 130....wondering what all you eat to get in 2000 calories!! I struggled yesterday with getting in 1700.

aarilynn, I'm on the fly so here's my off-the-top-of-my-head answer: I actually probably average most days on 1600... it's hard to go against the "eat less!" mentality that I feel has been so engrained in me and in others! But protein is my best friend. I love Muscle Milk light with whole milk and fruit. This serves as my post workout shake, but also my quick breakfast on many rushed days. I also add more condiments to things; Kashi pizza with extra veggies on top + olive oil once baked (sometimes extra cheese and lots of mushrooms); eggs with cheese; salads with avocado + olive oil; yogurt with fruits, cereals and granola all together.... so I say protein is my friend, but I also looove eating good fats!

Edit: * also should add that I snack heavy, not light. I pick up a banana/apple/berries every now and then, but I LOVE me some peanut butter [on anything or by the spoonful] to snack on, and nuts! Lots of raw almonds! And I also snack at least 4x a week on a protein bar (my favorite is Cliff's builders peanut butter and chocolate, so good! and it satisfies my sweets cravings without making me feel like I just totally spoiled the day).

Hope this helps!

Yes, like others I'm currently trying to break out of the horrible habit of thinking I need to eat less to get my body to where I want it to, it has not been easy esp. when you try to eat clean. I'm trying to get my net up above 1200 everyday. My goal is to net 1450. You've been helpful! I eat pretty similar. I haven't really picked up a protein bar in a while, but I may need to.Lately I've been trying to cut down on carbs thinking that was my problem and I've also cut down on fruit, but it's encouraging to know that you didn't cut these foods out and still got to where your at!
