    It's just not balanced. No fruits and veggies. Where are the whole grains?

    No, not healthy- it is mainly processed/boxed foods and there are zero vegetables or fruits. Added sugars out the wahoo- granola bar, cereal bar, apple cinnamon cereal, Jif peanut butter...

    I'd change most of it. Lots of processed stuff. I don't care that it fits into your calorie intake, it doesn't mean it's good options for your body & overall health. You can easily lose weight without eating so much junk &'its generally cheaper too.

    Fruits & veggies.
    Less processed, more real whole foods.
    Healthy fats.
    Whole grains.

    Is there a reason you have so many snack bars, but are not eating dinner? Pick a lower calorie snack (an apple has lots of fiber to help keep you full) and eat a good dinner. Skipping meals is not a good idea.

    No. I would add MEALS not just nuts. How do you not get hungry on that? Milk and peanut butter as a meal? You need fruit/veggies maybe some meat.

    Plus, you're practically skipping lunch and dinner?

    take out the granola bar and add a fruit if you want something sweet.

    or replace it with some string cheese...to lower the sugar count.

    No. I'd get rid of all the processed stuff and replace it with eggs for breakfast with mushroom/tomato/spinach/garlic, lean meat/chicken/fish with veggies or salad for lunch and the same for dinner. Good snack choices are fruits (berries are the lowest in sugar) but always have a few raw unsalted nuts with it to give you a protein hit to keep you full, or veggie sticks with hommus (preferably homemade) or homemade guacamole. Protein shakes (I assume this is what the Jif-peanut butter thing is??) are good if you are working out (strength training) a lot as a snack, but if you have it as a meal you will get ravenous and probably end up binging. Good luck. Having said that, congratulations on how well you're doing so far and being open to change! Weight loss is one thing, getting healthy adds a whole other dimension :-)

    fewer snacks, more fruits/veggies, don't skip any meals.

    Breakfast looks ok. Lunch and dinner - eat proper meals, it is ok to have a good proper full meal, target 400-500 kcal, combination of carb, protein, veg, fruits. Stop all the snacking of bars, they are high in fats and sugar. And you are below your target, you will get hungry easily, and probably snack more.

    I don't eat healthy either. However I am losing weight and am usually within my calories. I don't like vegetables. Do what works for you. I don't like coming home and cooking dinner when it is just me. :smile:
