Can someone look at my diary right now?

AS I've seen said here a lot.

Tea spoon + peanut butter = healthy calories.

You're not eating enough fruit. Some days you're not eating veggies. Seeds, nuts, adding some more oil would help with calories. Full fat milk too wouldn't be bad.

After looking at your diary, I think I would change these few things:
1) Lower your carb intake. Frosted mini wheats-not so good. lean cuisine-not so good. Maybe try Kashi Go Lean cereal.
2) Maybe, just to change it up a little, instead of eating 3 big meals, eat 6 smaller meals. Spread your calories out.
3) More fruits and veggies.
4) And don't be afraid to eat your excercise calories, you earned them!

I hope this helps! And don't get discouraged, you are doing a great job. Plataeus are gonna happen, it is just the way it is.

You have a lot of positives in your diary. It looks like you are being really selective about what you eat so that is good. I would first add sodium and fiber to your monitor chart. You may be consuming too much sodium thus hanging onto water weight. Those boxed meals are sodium devils! If you can't cut them out then choose ones with lower sodium...i've been there and there are some that are better than others. You may not be hungry because you aren't getting what you need and it makes you feel lethargic. Like someone suggested I would add some healthy fats like pistachios, all natural peanut butter, almonds,and alvacados. Don't let this scare you because these fats are what your body needs to feel full and to burn baby burn. I would also add more fruits and vegetables. Maybe have a snack of apple slices and peanut butter and bam you are eating some of your calories back and they are healthy! Plan plan plan! Oh and how about a protein shake of some sort? You seem to like things that are convenient to grab. You could get the pre-made ones or when you get more "into it" you can make your own. They are wonderful and it is great to make your own and know what you are putting in your body.
It's great you are asking because now you can try different things and find the right mix for you. Keep hanging in there you CAN do it!

Finally, I noticed your calorie intake is pretty high? I am 41 weigh 240 pounds my Goal is 185 and my nutritionist has me on 1200 calories per day, I am not sure what your weight is but I just thought it might be something to evaluate.

PLEASE don't tell people to eat less. I am slightly smaller than you and am eating 1600 and am losing consistently. Not starving is always a great thing.

I did not tell her to eat less I simply said she may want to evaluate her calories according to her weight. That is why I said " you may want to evaluate this"

I noticed she has lost a lot of weight already. So I just thought it might be time to look at her calories accirding to her new weight.. Often times we need to change things up to ttrigger something to happen.

Sometimes we need to add calories to get weight loss happening again when we hit that plateau and sometime just taking a few away or changing what we eat to get those calories.

That is all I meant it to be.

Hey hun.
you are putting preservatives in your body . there is processed foods there and sugar , you need to drink water and eat veggies add whey protein . Read this book called the abs diet , it will help you understand how the FDA puts stuff in our foods to keep us hungry. You also should be eating 6 small meals a day .... oatmeal or an omlette ..3hours later an apple ...lunch ,something healthy , no breads only multi grain bread . 3 hours ...a handful of almonds ....3 hours later dinner portioned protien, carbs and veggies. anyway , super tired . friend me or message if u need any help . please do not give up , u will see results . look into fat burning foods . the key is to keep your matabolism in fat burning mode all day ,...also that lean cuisine is the worse thing u can eat , it has trans fat preservatives , ingredients that will slow down ur matabolism and keep u hungry . it is good if u r counting calories , but the key is to clean out your system of the junk work out and burn fat .

I would def. track your fiber. You are doing AWESOME with protein (so much so that I'm jealous!)

Personally, I don't think that there is anything wrong w/you eating the mini-wheats, or the Lean Cusines (as long as they are in moderation).

I do agree that your veggies/fruits are lacking, but who am I to talk (I'm not too much into the fruit/veggie thing myself)... So if you aren't against it, you could always add more of that into your diet.

I would also suggest adding 1 or 2 more snacks in your day... I think someone else suggested doing 6 'mini' meals as well... which is good bcs you should be eating every 2-3hrs anyway to keep your body at a constant level.

Lastly, it looks like the majority of your cals left over are those from your exercise and not your reg. diet amt.... it's okay (IMHO) to not eat them ALL the time, but you should eat them occassionally so that you throw your body off (ever hear of zig-zagging your cals?)

I hope that this helps

Have a good night.

there is everything wrong with eating processed foods with trans fat and preservatives. slows down the metabolism and you dont burn fat , you store it. high in sodium ...water retention the list goes on and on. you may have lost weight temporarily , but i am sure your insides look like crap , im sure a blood test will prove that . high cholesteral , diabetes, sluggish thyroid, high blood pressure . keep eating the preservatives and the FDA owns you . If not on their junk food , then definitely on the meds to keep ur health in check . goodnight!

i agree with everything everyone has replied...i had a buddy suggest i keep an eye on my sodium, fiber and protein intake. you might want to add those so you can see them as you're logging....
i'm not an expert at this at all, but that sodium is a killer....it's hard for me to stay away from it also....
