    you eat dry bread?

    theres not much in the way of fruit or veg and i would suggest getting some scales... if you are estimating everything you are probably way off.

    Good start, sort of...except, not NEARLY enough fruit or veggies! Only one cup of greens a day? You need way more than that!

    You should add more fruits and vegetables. :) Also If I were you I would avoid the bread

    Thank you for the constructive criticism, Ive always went by imagery with estimates so you are most definitely right.

    Thank you Karmahunger, and MissbabyJane.
    When I started trying to lose weight in November (before I found this site) I mainly aet only raw vegetables and fruit but was WAAAY under my calorie intake and always had horrible cravings, so I was told to switch to eating mostly protein and breads. Im now learning this isnt working either so thank you both. Im starting to realize balance is the only way.
