Are there sample meal days anywhere here.

ETA: Try and find some friends with same goals as you too!

I eat in that range, take a look at my dairy if you like. It is open. Lots of food available at 1400. I have been on six months and have lost 28lbs.

You are really on the right track looking for meals that give you examples of what you should be eating to reach 1400 in a healthy way. You won't believe how much broccoli you can eat and hardly have any calories added to your food diary! This is when it becomes fun to count calories because you see you've eaten quite a bit and can still squeeze in a sweet snack like a Hershey's nugget and not exceed your goals. When I try to loose some extra pounds I revert to The Rotation Diet by Martin Katahn which gives very specific meal plans in week 2 that are 1200 calories. It's easy to add a little extra to the portions and at least have a guide to see what healthy eating looks like. The proteins fill you up, the fiber keeps your system cleansed. It's normal everyday food. This diet plan is probably considered a "fad diet" otherwise but it has some basic info that might help.

I have tried calorie counting once before but abandoned it after a few days because I was starving. I have to say I am used to just doing low carb/paleo where I eat very high fat high cal foods and don't pay attention to portion size. So that could account for why I am starving. This time I'd like to give it more of a go.
I see people on here saying staying in their calorie budget is easy and they are satisfied. I'd love to know what they are eating.
Anywhere I could find what a 1400 calorie day looks like? Preferably several days?
Thank you!

If you are used to low carb/paleo dieting, why not continue that. I've heard weightloss is effortless with those diets and there is no need to track at all to lose weight

This is what I do ^

I found this online as a sample of a 1500 calorie day. It might give you some ideas..

.Here's a sample day on the Biggest Loser 1500-calorie diet plan:

Breakfast

1/2 cup fresh diced melon
Oatmeal (1/2 cup dry old-fashioned oatmeal, cooked with 1 tablespoon ground flax and 1 cup water), sprinkled with cinnamon and 1 tablespoon chopped walnuts).
1/2 cup fat-free vanilla yogurt
Mint tea

Midmorning Snack

1 fresh pear, sliced and topped with 1/2 cup fat-free ricotta and drizzled with 1 teaspoon honey

Lunch

Mediterranean turkey pita sandwich made with one 4-inch whole-wheat pita bread, 4 1/2 ounces thinly sliced lean turkey breast, 1/2 roasted red bell pepper, 2 pieces Romaine lettuce and 2 teaspoons mustard
Sparking water with orange slice

Midafternoon snack

1 nonfat mozzarella string cheese stick
1 medium orange

Dinner

4 ounces grilled lean flank steak with 2 grilled Roma tomatoes
Large tossed salad (2 cups mixed greens, 1/4 cup sliced cucumbers,
1/4 cup sliced mushrooms) with 2 tablespoons light Caesar dressing
3/4 cup whole wheat couscous
1 cup nonfat milk


Evening Snack

3/4 cup nonfat Greek-style yogurt with 1/4 cup low-fat granola and 1/4 cup fresh blueberries

My diary is open also, although most of my single line item 'foods' are recipes I've entered., and my calorie goal is higher than 1400. (1640 range)

Definitely try to find some other friends at a similar calorie goal. When I was eating in that range I know that my breakfasts were usually around 200 calories, lunch and dinner 400 calories and then a few snacks throughout the day!
