What kind of healthy foods do you eat? I'm starting up my workouts again, and I really want to hit my goal. Do you have any suggestions are what I should eat through the day?
Eggs/egg whites, oatmeal, almond milk, Greek yogurt, tuna, string cheese, baked or grilled chicken, salmon, shrimp, steak, shiritaki noodles, turkey ground meat, natural peanut butter, whole wheat bread, brown rice, whole wheat pasta, veggie burgers, quinoa, protein smoothies, nuts, dark chocolate and of course fruits and veggies. These are all different foods I will eat.
An example for a days menu for me would be
1 egg, 3 egg whites, and a vanilla Greek yogurt for breakfast
A tuna salad that is lettuce, tomatoes, onions, feta or Parmesan cheese, can of tuna and a light dressing for lunch
Baked chicken breasts, avocado, tomatoes, green beans for dinner
And snacks would be natural peanut butter with sliced bananas on whole wheat bread
And a small serving of dark chocolate
I weigh and portion my food servings and I always stayed within my 1300 calories but still had good portions of food bc the healthy stuff tends to have less calories. I grew up eating big portions so I can't be eating little rabbit food servings and be satisfied but if it's the right foods you can still feel like you're eating a lot and stay within your calorie range. Hope this helps
Thanks! This is helpful! Your walking post started my walking and exercise a week or so ago. I now go on a daily 90min (4.5mile) walk.
Tonight I didn't feel good/soar throats and I walked to the store and back vs driving. Only about 30mins total but at least j got it in!

I'm so glad I helped for you to start walking and 90 min is awesome!! And so is the 30 minutes! We have to know when to push ourselves and when to take it easy so sounds like you're doing great1 -

Do you eat back any of your exercise calories ?0

You're a great inspiration, I saw a dietitian and she said pretty much the same, as long as you eat 1300-1400 and be active for about 15-60 minutes a day, then you will see results. If you don't, then they'll have to test me for other medical conditions.
I was doing some workout videos for strength training and was retaining water weight, but I think after walking for two weeks instead of doing strength training, I saw the results from it finally (number wise). It's slow but it's working. It's nice to know that I can walk because I enjoy walking more and its easier to fit in. Seeing your before and after is awesome and I hope to be there soon. I'm at your starting weight and hope to lose as much as you.1 -
You're such an inspiration!1
