    1300 before or after working out?
    Because then youll be at about 1700.

    Am I right?

    I find if I have a very healthy breakfast the rest of my day goes good also. I always juice first thing. Then later on will have a real breakfast of whole grain oats or eggs with veggies and salsa.

    Mine is similar. You are welcome to friend me (my diary is open to friends) and see how I am spreading out my calories across the day.

    As for snacks, I have been eating a lot of seedless cucumber, baby peeled carrots, and celery. I also keep an ounce of raw, unsalted almonds with me when I'm at work in case I am really hungry and ate all of my vegetables.

    I have found MFP to be very educational. As you go along you will learn what foods to eat in what amounts. I have found that increasing the protein in my meals keeps me from getting as hungry between meals.

    As for snacks, fruit is good, and I also really like the Fiber One 90 calorie brownies. Yogurt is also a good choice.

    Cottage cheese is some kind of super food, it turns out. If you can tolerate it, it has minimal calories/carbs/fat for maximum protein. Plus it's good with fruits and veggies.

    Added! I am by no means an expert, but I am trying to eat less processed foods and enjoy incorporating fruits and vegetables into my meals. I forgot to say, I think you will find that MANY people here (myself included) seem to favor Greek style yogurt as a way to get a good amount of protein.

    Most vegetables and a lot of fruits. I make smoothies which are low calorie, there a lots of recipes online.

    Air popped popcorn gives a lot of crunchiness for low calories.

    Make sure to eat enough fat but of high quality...nuts, avocado, olive oil. Wild salmon, etc. You still have to watch calories, but these fats are preferable to fats found in processed foods or red meat.

    Finally, find what works for you, then do that.

    Protein!!!!
    I'm on 1300 cal a day, and I tell you what, losing weight has been a breeze since I upped my protein significantly. I eat more protein than carbs every day.

    Try eating more lean meats, eggs, fish, dairy.

    Also, if I ever feel a craving coming on, I drink tea. that REALLY helps
