    My imput would be to eat less processed food. Processed food=more sodium. :( Also why replace breakfast with SlimFast?

    Weight loss isn't linear. Your weight loss will be different here and there, but from a cursory glance of your diary, I'd say.

    a) eat less processed foods - I didn't really see any clean foods (raw, etc)
    b) lower your macros for your carbs (perhaps 100-120g per day max, and don't go over)
    c) increase your macros for your protein (double what you're at - at least 100g per day, in my opinion)
    d) try to get 25g of fiber in your macros as well - fiber will give you the feeling of satiety
    b) Try keep your sodium below 2000mg

    I have three suggestions:

    1. Log everyday. I went back 8 days and you didn't log 4 of them.
    2. Less processed foods: You have Mcdonalds a couple times for breakfast and a slimfast shake. If you are short on time try overnight oats.
    3. Calculate your lean body mass and get .8 gram of protein / lb of LBM.

    As mentioned above, you might watch your calories, but they aren't "clean" calories, too much pre-packaged and processed. You should be having a protein and vegetable for every meal, starting with breakfast. Try a whole wheat wrap with 5 egg whites, spinach and feta. Very clean, and you'll be full. Should also try eating every 3 hours. You do have some snacks in there, but it's energy drinks and peanuts (not the healthiest nut choice). Try a piece of fruit and a handful of almonds, or some veggies and hummus. Chicken breast, fish, extra lean turkey/beef, eggs, fruits, veggies, almonds, beans (not fried)....those are the types of foods that will help you lose weight much faster (with the correct portions) and you'll have more energy. Also, water. It's amazing what drinking 3L of water a day will do. Try checking out the nutrition section and recipes of Oxygen Magazine for ideas. It's a women's body building magazine, but they show the types of food you should be eating to lose weight, gain muscle and not feel hungry. Good luck!

    As for today specifically, get some fruits, veggies and water in there!:smile:

    One thing I noticed is that going back approx a week, there were days when you only ate 700+ or 800 calories. That's not good. You need more veggies and not the frozen kind. You could probably be better served by cooking some chicken breast and eating stuff like that than hot dogs and mcdonald's breakfasts. Those are all loaded with sodium and fat.
    If you are talking just today, you should eat an apple or a banana and some toast with plain peanut butter... Not the pB with sugar.

    Ultimately, you're not teaching yourself to eat good food; you're teaching yourself to eat only the required calories.

    You probably won't pay attention to this since my diary can only be viewed by my friends but I'm doing it anyways-

    Since you only want today looked at, I'd suggest if you're going to do tuna, try going for the Starkist - Chunk Light Tuna In Water, it comes in a pouch so you don't have to drain it and it's 80 calories for the whole thing and less sodium (230) than your package (crackers will change it depending on what you get but I've found you get more crackers for the same amount of calories/sodium as the package)

    Try something easy but more filling for breakfast like eggs-if you take that and cheese (I usually use Laughing Cow wedges cause they're about 35-50 calories per wedge depending on which you get) and put it in the microwave for 60 seconds, you have scrambled eggs.

    Veggies are always good and for me, feeling. Send me a friend request if you want some more ideas

    I'd like to think I gave you some pretty sound advice - regardless of my own diary. Good luck on your journey.

    Not being able to see your diary any longer (probably a good choice), I'm going to guess your diary for today included a heaping spoonful of crabby, a side of cranky, and for a drink, w(h)ine.

    >>all i wanted was some advice <<
    And that's what we gave you.
    You didn't ask to look at our diaries, that is a different question.

    >>i can see that I am getting advice from people that don't even want to show their diary <<
    A cardiologist I knew used to eat one Dove Chocolate Ice Cream bar every day. It didn't mean he would prescibe this to his heart patients. They came to him asking for help and advice. They didn't ask what *he* regularly ate.

    My diary is open to the public and I'm far from perfect, but know what's worked and hasn't worked for me. I've lost 32 lbs since July following what advise I gave you. Expect constructive criticism on MFP. Its only going to help you, not hurt you. :)

    Isn't advice just a subtle, nicer form of criticism?

    In my defense, like you said, you told us just to comment on today's diary. Without looking back at other days and just focusing on today there would be no indication to me that you do or don't drink SlimFast everyday. Hence why I mentioned it initially. So yeah, if it's only a "I'm running late" meal then I get that :)
