Those all sound like good ideas :)

A bagel, or toast, toasted, then with peanut butter and either orange marmalade or an apple sliced up on top, and an orange or a banana on the side. Also, water. The only issue is that there isn't enough protein with it.

I didn't know there were veg boards, so I thought Food and Nutrition made sense as a place to ask. I'll go ask there. Thanks you guys though :)

So what are some big no no foods to avoid that people don't think about?

I don't get online for a day, and there has been an entire discussion... hmm. I think, though, that for the most part, this was useful. I also talked to a vegan at my school and he was really helpful- if he can do it, so can I. I'll just have to factor in the hypoglycemia somehow.

Wow... I did not expect so many responses! Thanks, all of you guys!

Generally, there is some lettuce, and some salad options, but it's not really fresh food, and the only other "healthy" options are a baked potato, which is probably not good to eat at every meal, and some form of sugar free jell - o. It has different stations with different options but the only things that get stocked and…

I think all of you should know: my food options are seriously limited because I go to a college in which we have a dining commons and I can't afford to go out and get food on top of that, so that really limits selection.

The thing is, really, I just can't stand to eat that much food. I've tried and it feels just like stuffing myself.

Doesn't it make sense, then, to try to get up to 1500 calories a day and lightly exercise, and just start there?

By the way, what is TDEE?

If I understand what you're saying correctly... Eating at least 2000 calories per day, with light exercise, for six to eight weeks, and then going down to 1600 calories per day, with exercise continued, will get me best results. That sounds pretty difficult... but... one step at a time. I think I also want to try to start…

That's not a bad idea. However I'm worried that it would set me back even further.

I tried to change things around, and it says I should lose about 1.3 pounds per week, but I just keep fluctuating.

To answer your questions: Yes, I am in college. I'm an art major with a minor in Christian Education. However, my campus is only about a mile wide. Total. It takes maybe ten minutes to walk from class to class, usually less. It's an itty bitty private school. I am 5' 3.5" and have a BMI currently of 24.6. I understand that…

I am currently 19, almost 20, and I am 5 foot 3.5 inches tall. My calorific goal is, as recommended by most of these sites, 1200 per day. It used to be 1500 per day.
