I agree, have more protein and low fat dairy after your workout. Breakfast is your most important meal of the day; it should have complex carbs (fruit), dairy (lowfat...maybe a yogurt), and protein,.. and some sources say a whole grain as well with breakf. totaling at least 230 -250 calories. then a snack in about 3 hrs…

I guess it depends on what/where your problems/concerns are...As prev. stated good sugar is ok to be over some, and should get 30% of cals from protein if exercising/working out. You can change what you monitor..I watch cholesterol and sodium... Sodium for females can be an issue of water weight and needs to be monitored…

Oh Lina, how I have missed your recipes and food diary for the yummy things you make. Thank you for sharing. :-)

Hi mammabear and welcome. I have been using this site since end of Nov 2010 and have lost 36#s. Yes, journaling helps. Yes, you should eat at least 1200 cals/day, and if you 'burn' a lot of cals exercising you should eat back some of those cals as well. I suggest you read the posts regarding "starvation mode"; if you eat…

I hear from many others that you have to do the muscle exercises and toning vs straight cardio burns(what HRM follows) if you do not want a bunch of sagging skin after your weight loss. :-)

Look at friends diaries and get some ideas. Some people even have open diaries. A lot of things I was going to suggest are US products but if friend other MFPer's from England they may be able to help. Look up 'Hungry Girl' she has some nice recipes. Good luck.
