Really new to dieting and excercising, 5'10" height, weighed 230, lost 10 pounds to 220 since March 27th, I know I'm doing something right, but I want to make sure I'm not gonna start burning muscle instead of fat. Below is my basic foods I eat, and I eat 2-3 meals a day, plus 1-2 muscle milk protein shakes a day. Keep in mind, I'm going to give you meals that I eat, sometimes I eat the same things every day, sometimes I switch it up, but this is how my meals look.
For Breakfast:
2 boiled eggs and 1 peice of sugar free whole weat bread
or
1 egg fried in olive oil, turkey sausage, or turkey burger patty (if I don't have turkey bacon or sausage), half a peice of sugar free whole wheat bread, with turkey gravy
or
2 baked egg, backon, spinach muffins (sounds weird, back in muffin sheet, crack an egg, wrap a peice of bacon around it, and top it off with spinach and back 15-20 minutes, best with turkey bacon)
Snacks:
Fiber one Protein Bar, or Apple.
For Lunch and Dinner:
1-2 peices of grilled chicken with spinach and kale greens
or
1-2 peices of salmon, flounder, tilapia, or whiting with spinach and kale greens
sometimes a grilled chicken salad with no fat dressings, or tuna salad
I do fry the greens in olive oil so I still get some healthy fats in my diet, and the greens provide enough carbs I believe. I want to make sure that this is enough to prevent muscle burn, but help fat burn, I'm pretty much sticking to no sugar diet, as you can see. I also walk 3-5 miles a day with a 15 pound weight as of yesterday, sometimes give or take a mile depending on how the weather looks.

It looks good to me! Congrats on the 10 pounds lost! The only thing I would add is more veggies!0

Looks good! I'd suggest eating more often (same amount just throughout the day instead of 3 meals) and make sure to start eating early in the morning to get your metabolism going!0

Your metabolism doesn't stop between meals or overnight - unless you died in your sleep!0 -
What's your exercise routine like?0

mainly my routine right now is a 2-5 mile walk a day, but I carry a 15 pound weight with me. I'm gonna start hitting the gym soon, I start my new job Thursday and there is a free gym right up from it so I can hit it after work hours. but when I go to the gym I focus on strength, bench presses, chest chisler, ab machine, pec machine, incline benches, and decline benches, sometimes squats. But walking is my main thing right now, like I said, got some moobs, don't want to make them worse by working my chest a whole lot til my body fat reduces.0

wow just realized I made a whole lotta typos in my main post lol.bacon, not backon, wheat, not weat,, and bake, not back =p
but thanks everyone for the feedback, just wanted to make sure it was a good diet plan. Haven't spoke to a nutritionist or anything, and hard to go by recipies online, so I just created my own.0
