Today is one of the few (hopefully start of many) days that I actually ate to what I thought/think is healthy, and actually recorded everything so far (no cheating!)

So, for all you smart eaters out there, how am I doing? what am i missing? is it good? is it bad? Let me know!!

EDIT: Guys...I'm eating more than this...i just wanted to know how im doing so far.

EDIT AGAIN: Also. I'm only talking about today. I'm not consistant. I'm bad at logging. I am ONLY talking about today SO FAR.

    Oh My! That's not nearly enough food. Where's the protein? Fruits? Veggies? Water?

    Veggies are missing! I'm assuming you are still going to be having those 2 more meals/snacks as well.

    Why do you only eat two meals a day? And they total less than 700 calories. Is there a reason for this??

    If this is how you normally eat it is a very bad plan. You are consuming far too little calories for your body to run off of. You should be eating no less than your BMR. Continuing to eat this little puts you at risk for malnutrition, injury, sickness, and the loss of a lot of muscle.

    You need to eat more ... eat more protein, more fruits and veggies... eat more in general - a LOT more.

    Looking back through your diary, your daily calories are too low.

    More protein. More fats.

    Are you enjoying what you're eating right now?

    If you plan on eating more why are previous days such low calorie? You have yet to eat anywhere close to where you should be.

    You need to eat more protein and more fruits/veggies. You are running low on everything.

    Looks okay so far, as long as you enjoy it enough to stick with it.

    :flowerforyou: HONEY I HOPE YOU PLAN ON EATING 3 MEALS A DAY WITH AT LEAST 2 SNACKS. YOU NEED TO WORK ON YOUR WATER INTAKE ALSO! PROTEIN, VEGGIES, FRUIT, WATER & NUTS ARE A MUST FOR HEALTHY WAY OF LIFE. I AM AFRAID IT WON'T TAKE LONG BEFORE YOU GET SICK.

    Now I'm worried I won't get more advice other than 'eat more' lol. it's only 330pm where im at, i'm not done with my day ;P

    I'm always told I am gonna eat too much fruit...even though i have lots of it, and would enjoy eating lots of it, lol.

    Is what I've ate so far healthy though? as far as the content?

    thanks for replying :)

    Wow...you really do need to eat more calories. I looked back through your diary and the highest calories you ate was 725. That is not nearly enough! I also did not see any water consumed.

    Please re-read my intro. Maybe I need to start a whole new topic.

    Looks good so far!
    It takes a few days or maybe a couple of weeks to really get into the habit of logging stuff. Do you have MFP on your phone? It helps to be able to log as the day goes on instead of just at the end of the day when you have a computer.

    I always find it funny how people don't really READ posts. Who ever thought the topic had to be specific for exactly what you want from people.

    Edit: Also, I don't know if you're a vegetarian or not.. if you aren't then make sure to get in some nice lean protein! Chicken, turkey, fish, etc. :)

    I think you need more of a fully recorded history before you can get real opinions on your food intake because everyone seems confused as to what you're asking because they are focusing on your total calorie intake. I know what you are asking and what you are eating so far seems pretty healthy but don't be afraid to eat fruits, they are really good for you. If you want to know a healthy daily amount look up a copy of the food pyramid for how many servings you should have a day but watch your carbs with fruit. Just continue to eat all your calories and log everything, water also and you will get better at knowing if what you are doing is right for you.
