    kidding aside, i'd re-evaluate your protein intake.

    I've just started eating tomato sandwiches ~ I add shredded lettuce and leave off the black pepper. Yummmm ... had two for dinner last night using Sara Lee 45 Calorie bread.

    LOL too funny!

    I had to teach myself to like tomatoes over the years and now I mostly love them (not a huge cherry tomato fan). I remember my mom used to eat cottage cheese over a couple slices of tomato w/ salt & pepper and lately I have been craving that big time! Must pick up some tomatoes!

    AND calorie intake.

    seriously, the last few days (all I looked at) have been UNDER 1000 calories net.

    EAT! YOU ARE STARVING!!!!!

    This,

    and I would also re-evaluate the amount of calories you are getting. As a man you should not net under 1500 calories (1500 cals plus eat back 100% of the cals you burn. Some days you are well under 1000 net calories, this will lead to a loss of a large % of lean muscle, not just the fat you are looking at losing.

    The addition of roast beef, sub the miracle whip/mayo for some dijon mustard (Jack Daniels mustard is awesome), and some sharp smoked cheddar cheese and you have a top-o'-the-line nom on your hands.

    YUCK!!
    but I hate tomatoes...so yeah, you all enjoy that! :P
    and I agree....you need some sort of protein. Add some mozzarella and some fresh basil or something...

    Thanks for the suggestions. I actually do eat. I usually eat most of my calories to get close to my goal. I don't always track everything. After about 5-6 o'clock I usually don't come back on here to add anything extra. I just use this as a base for my day. Its been working. I've lost 103lbs since 2008 and I can promise you I'm starving myself.

    1410 is what MFP recommended for me to lose an average of 2lbs a week. Its worked. I've lost 56lbs since January. I don't pretend to know what's best but I just go with what they set up for me and usually eat 1/3 to 1/2 of my burnt calories back. I just don't always log everything to a T though.
