1500 CALORIE

cwoodruff24

I'm starting to master the healthy filling food thing so here we go with me I do

B
1 egg (60-90 depending on size)
1.5 pieces of Turkey Bacon (30-60 calories depending on brand)

L
Toufyan Smart Pocket 80 cals high in fiber low in sodium
Fresh cut lunch meat, generally around four pieces for one serving (60 calories)
Light Mayo ( 35 calories)
Lettuce, Tomato, Onion, stuff like that (handful of calories)

D
Spinach Nests (200 calories for two nests, really decent sized portion.. these are noodles)
Home made sauce, 1 cup 60 calories
Peas (depending on portion, for me usually 130)

And this will leave you with calories to play around with. I can eat this kind of meal and not be hungry because the food is filling. For snacks I suggest blueberries, banana, a low calories fiber bar.

thanks guys can i have a 2000 calorie diet plan since my TDEE is 2045........

TDEE is total calories burned in a day--if your objective is to lose weight then you need to eat less than that. I'd opt for a 250 deficit--1/2 pound per week--and aim for 1800.

Oh in that case yes. You can eat 2050z

Add a protein shake for easy calories:
1 scoop protein (130)
1 cup milk (90)
1 banana (100)
1 tbsp pb (100)

=420 calories

Or have an oz of dark chocolate and an oz of nuts =~300 calories

I just started and so far it has been ok. I am still learning. It is time consuming and in some cases hard because I dont eat a lot of vegetables.

I am pretty much used to it by now but on the weekend like for lunch if I can't decide what to eat and I know I don't feel up to working out then I log it in to see how many cals it would be, especially if I'm ordering something to eat. Also during the week since I'm so busy if I go over I just go workout for a bit extra so I don't go over. The guilt kills me lol

I eat under that but I do a low carb diet, but you are welcome to look at my diary. It is open. looking at your friends diaries helps a lot for inspiration on days when you can't decide what to have too. But a plan is personal in that I may like things you do not so you need to decide how many calories you want to eat per meal, what you usually have & then how to scale it back to fit your calories. Do plan to have some favorites too. I have one or two pieces of dark choc. everyday because I don't feel deprived knowing I can enjoy that. I hope you have great success.

That won't help your metabolism much, if at all, but do as you wish. Best of luck.

If you have a nutritionist, I would use their advice. Green tea, coconut oil and apple cider vinegar are all considered good for resetting metabolism. Green tea gives you more liquid and if you add juice of 1/4 lemon, that can help also, and it helps keep urinary tract proper.

Whoa! My nutrionist told me to eat at TDEE in order to reset my body. Green tea and all that jazz is just an added bonus. After months of eating 2000+ every single day, if I eat anything less I end up losing weight.

My stats:

Age: 30
Height: 5'
Weight: 102

Currently eating almost 3,000 a day and having trouble putting on weight. I suggest you give this whole eating at TDEE thing a try.
