Already hungry

Water and protien. Start your day with water and make sure each meal has some protien.

Once I got the fast food out of my system, I set up my meals for

8 am 200-300 for breakfast...eggs, high fiber english muffin, apples
11 am 100-200 snack
2 pm 300-500 cals salad with chick breast,
4-5 200 cals 1 oz low fat cheese, 6 triscuits
dinner 3-4 oz protein, small baked pot, big serving of veggies 400-500

if i have cals left over I eat a snack. I like to work out so I have 1500 cals a day..

good luck!

Adie! I'm so happy you joined, you're going to LOVE it! I'll see you next week and we'll talk all about it. If you'll be anything like me it's the only thing I can talk about anymore since it's worked so well.

Miss you!

Eat lower calorie foods that have a lot of volume so you can eat more while keeping the calories down.

Fruit is a good choice.... think about watermelon! A huge wedge of watermelon has less than 100 calories. A large (half pound) apple or pear only have about 115 calories - or you can eat 2 navel oranges for that same 115 calories!

Fruit can help keep your sugar cravings in check too - and is pretty much fat free.

And of course there's veggies.... you can have 2 cups of spaghetti squash for less than 100 calories (YUM!) or 3 cups of steamed broccoli (spray with a bit of butter spray if you desire) or maybe a big salad with multiple raw veggies can be pretty satisfying too (topped with vinegar, lemon or a "light" dressing of your choice)

You can go the "soup" route too.... a bowl of tomato soup has only about 100 calories, and anything with a clear base (chicken noodle, beef vegetable, chicken rice or corn, minestrone, etc) all are typically less than 100 calories for an 8 ounce bowl.

Just a few ideas here

Of course, there is no way for me to know what your eating style has been - but generally speaking, people are often overweight not necessarily because they eat too much food, but because they eat the wrong kinds of foods! Once you work out what you should be eating, you'll have a much easier time of it. In fact, I repeatedly hear people complain that they have trouble eating all the food they need to eat to meet their daily calorie goal!!! :noway:

(unfortunately, I am not one of those people) :laugh:

I just started today too. I'm just hungry all the time. I think it comes from being bored. Not sure how to avoid eating all the junk food before bed.
