in Getting Started


Today starts my diet & I'm only allowing myself to have 1,320 calories a day in hopes to lose a pound & 1/2 a week (we will see) tho it's only day one & I'm over it. For breakfast I allowed 1/2 cup of blackberries, 1/2 cup of raspberries, whole banana mixed with a 1/4 of fruit dip. For lunch I have a cup of cottage cheese, chicken breast (no sauce) and Greek yogurt & for a snack string cheese. Dinner is undecided @ the moment.

I need advice on meals/meal preps..

I don't have a gym membership so my exercise will come strictly from walking/jogging after work wait who am I kidding walking, simply because my pops says the only time one should run is if a bear is chasing them, hahaha.

Goal is to lose 55 pounds I realize it won't happen over night and will take work tho I need help/advice on what to do/don't do to keep me on track.


I've cut out pasta and bread along with soda.

    Maybe something with nuts? I always try to get one source of nuts at least once in the day like almonds, peanuts or if I'm too lazy peanut butter. Good luck!

    I would maybe move the yogurt to breakfast to get some protein in there. Generally I get hungrier sooner if I have a meal that is all just carbs, or just protein, or just fat, so I try to have all three in each meal (as much as possible).

    Also I love big yummy dinner salads. Maybe a taco salad?

    Due to health issues I cannot eat anything with seeds so absolutely no nuts and I cannot have raw veggies and very little dairy product... It's so hard to find stuff to eat that's healthy.

    first thing I would do it drop that weekly weight loss to 1lb a week. That will give you more wiggle room and remember to eat back some of your exercise calories.

    Now for food.

    Please feel free to Check my diary minus the chocolate bar I sit right around 1300 calories so far today...I have all my meals logged for today and the rest of the week.

    Breakfast was a fruit smoothie with protein powder and coffee with sugar and cream, lunch is a bbq cheese burger with avocado, dinner is chicken fingers and fries with a snack of yogurt when I get peckish.

    Healthy is a relative term. My fruit smoothie does not have dairy in it. No nuts, no seeds, very few raw veggies (I might add some carrots at lunch)
