in Food and Nutrition
Hi Guys, I have been doing MFP for about a month now and have lost about ten pounds which is great. I just want some advice about my diet. Maybe those MFP experts can give me some tips or pointers. I have been coming under calories most days but care about nutrition (I don't want to be skinny fat!).

Thanks,

Sorry if this is short and sweet but not much of a blogger/ social media type guy. I'm sure ill get better once a start posting more

Let me know y'alls thoughts

    You need to make your diary public if you want people to critique it :)

    it looks like you depend on a lot of processed and fast food. Your calorie intake was on target, but the fat allowance went way over. I am sure if you track sodium it would be way over. I would stay away from fast food and rely on more non processed home cooked food.

    Hello,
    It does look like you eat out a lot, I do to. I would maybe try getting a large chilli and baked potato with sour cream and chives for lunch for the same calories as a small chilli and burger.

    instead of fritos try microwave popcorn, you will get so much more !!!

    they say eating soup before a meal you canloose 30% more, try a can of progersso light soup for between 140 to 200 calories instead of some of the heavier stuff.

    I eat a chicken salad from subway with the sweet onion dressing every day for lunch for 340 cal.

    you will figure out your own tricks the longer you go, your doing a great job !!!
