Today is my 12th day!

Today is my 12th day of logging in and tracking my eating on myfitnesspal.com, and I'm not sure if I've ever felt better! Things were instantaneously different a few days after staring my cleaner eating and easy exercise. It's been 12 days since I've had "white" sugar, white flour, or anything that isn't really a whole food. I think the most processed items I've put into my system is my oatmeal in the morning. The only "fats" come from almonds, olive oil, and avocado.

I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice on my current meal plan(s). I'm taking in about 1200-1300 calories a day, and I take my dogs on a light jog / long 1.25 mile walk every day. On the weekends we explore a bit further, and actually get a few miles (~3.5 - I'll check on my pedometer app next time I'm out.) I plan on introducing the gym in the morning back into my life next week. I also drink about 10-12 glasses of water a day.

Here's a typical day of eating:

Breakfast (350-420 calories)
3 Egg whites
1 serving of Quaker Weight Control Oatmeal
Either: a 100 calorie greek yogurt serving or a 100 calorie vanilla protein drink
Serving of fruit: either 1/2 strawberries or 1 small banana, and 1/4c. bluberries
I usually put everything but the eggs into the blender and drink it on my way to / at work.

I always have the eggs and oatmeal, but vary the fruits.

Lunch (240-310 calories -- depending on fruit and variables)
1 slice of whole wheat multigrain bread
2 oz turkey breast
Slice of tomato
Handful of Baby Spinach (about 28g)
1/4 c. cucumbers
1-2oz of baby carrots
Either: 2 TBS tribe hummus or 2 TBS of a homemade greek yogurt / avocado spread I made off of eatingwell.com
Small Orange / serving of available fruits

Dinner (normally between 300-500 calories)
4oz of lean proteins
2 cups of veggies
Salad
If I have carbs at night, it's quinoa.

Alternating Snacks:
1 oz almonds
2 TBS hummus and celery/broccoli/carrots
Plain unsalted brown rice cakes
1oz of Low sodium / Raw cheese
