I honestly don't know what to eat..

I have read a lot of different nutrition books. There is a lot of different diets to follow. Finally I found the Eat Clean Diet. I find what they offer works best for me. They have a great interactive website and meal plans. Yes, they even put together shopping list for you. This really helped when I first started out. Check out the following websites.

Hope this helps you as much as it helped me. Everyone has to find what works best for them.

Bump

Lunch I usually have a huge salad or a sandwich. Sandwiches: Usually tuna, egg salad or lean meats from the deli on wheat; I usually have 2 fruits with that.

Salads: I have 2-3 cups of mixed greens, a pinch of bacon, a pinch of cheese, a few croutons, about 4oz of chicken with a low-fat dressing.

Dinners: I usually go on skinnytaste.com, cooking light, or look at "cook yourself thin" recipes to decide on a dinner recipe. I typically have a lean meat, a small carb and lots of veggies.

Snacks: Fruit, popcorn, almonds, smoothies, salads (if I didn't have it for lunch)

Good luck!

In response to the "Bump" comments: It's sad that people want to be negative about someone sharing something that helped them improve their lives in a positive way. I thought this was a community of helping others.

One of my favorite very easy dinners is chicken cacciatore. Cut up a green and red bell pepper, Vidalia onion and mushrooms. Cut up some chicken breast. Out in all in a pan until cooked. Add a little jarred marinara sauce. So good! I serve it over Barilla plus pasta.

I too had an eating disorder as a teen and did not have much help learning how to cook healthy at home. We lived off of hamburger helper or taco bell (disgusting I know). Check with your nutritionist if these meet the specifics she wants you to do, but here are a few ideas from what I eat:
BLT- using Ezekiel sprouted bread, turkey bacon, green leaf lettuce (not iceberg), and tomato with a side of fruit
Turkey Tacos- No shells. https://www.facebook.com/notes/commit-to-get-fit/turkey-tacos/518921014786731


Taco Filling:

1 pound ground turkey meat1 cup finely chopped broccoli½ cup red bell pepper½ cup finely chopped squash½ cup finely chopped zuchinni, Garlic chopped or granulated (I prefer chopped)2 tbsp of olive oil (sometimes a little more)Taco Seasoning Mix, 1 can of Amy’s refried black beans (I usually use regular black beans rinsed & drained)

Garnish (all optional):
Medium or Large Bag of Blue Corn Chips, Avocado, Tomato, Black Olives, Shredded Cheese (I usually skip), Greek Yogurt (in place of sour cream), Salsa

Directions:
Preheat Oven at 250 degrees. (I skip this)

In one skillet, brown turkey meat and garlic in 1 tbsp of oil (sometimes it requires a little more to keep from sticking). In a separate skillet, cook veggies together in olive oil and a little more garlic. Cook until just tender. When meat has finished browning, drain some of the liquid and add the taco seasoning (just sprinkle enough on to fully season the pound of meat). I also add a little to the vegetables so it will soak in. Combine veggies with turkey and cook together, adding more taco seasoning, if you prefer it and turn down to a simmer.

While turkey and vegetables are simmering together, heat up Amy’s black beans in a pot on stove and put the blue corn chips on a cookie sheet (a handful per plate). Heat just long enough to warm the chips, about 5-10 minutes.

Get out bowl or plate, layer chips on bottom, then beans, turkey and then the rest of the garnish: avocado, tomato, black olives, cheese, yogurt and salsa.

**I skip the chips the majority of the time and add black beans (whole, not refried) in with the veggies & turkey then top with Fage greek yogurt (it's a great alternative to sour cream).

Sad you are still struggling with this, and look to have deteriorated a lot since you were on my list well over a year ago.
Hope you one day overcome, as it is a terrible waste of your life.
