    Well you have only logged two days, but I see your protein was less than 50 grams both times. More protein will help. Also, I see that you are only 20 years old with less than 40 pounds to lose. You might want to double check your calories. 1300 seems awfully low for such a young person.

    Eat filling foods. Cheerios & brownies aren't very filling and just a waste of calories. Protein will fill you up better. Think nuts, peanutbutter, eggs, avacado, even oatmeal is more filling than cheerios. Also you can have a ton of veggies for the same calories as one of those brownies.

    Oh if you like cereal, there's one called Quaker Corn Bran Squares that is about 120 calories/cup and has about 3-4g fiber in it. It's also a little sweet and nice to snack on while watching a movie or on a road trip or whatever.

    stats:

    age: 20
    weight: 160 lbs
    height: 5'3
    female

    I updated my goals thank you. what are some good sources of protein?

    You should not be eating less than 1550 calories. Check the "Road Map" link above for a better calorie goal. Even if you do nothing at all but sit and watch TV all day, you can still lose weight eating 1600 calories a day. The more you do (other than watch TV/surf the web), the more you should eat while still losing weight.

    Good sources of protein: meat (Especially fowl) is the best. Also, dairy and nuts/seeds provide some decent protein numbers.

    Great idea thanks for posting. I am sitting here reading all this talk of food, getting hungry ready to eat dinner with the blue haired peeps and I'll bet this could get me through to dinner.

    Do some exercise. It keeps your mind busy and burns your calories. House chores is a good start.

    Exercise personally makes me more hungry...
