  • I commend you for going with the turkey burger and cooking it at home. No doubt, the calories were lower than going out to eat. *applause*
  • Considering you exercise/run, having a higher carb intake is fine. But I agree that you should increase your protein intake too. It'll help you feel fuller during the course of the day, since you're only at 1300 cals. Here are some suggestions of other foods that might be helpful during the day: - A cup of Greek Yogurt as…
  • I think you may be eating a little too much fruit. Like the others have said, you want to increase your protein intake. I'd suggest starting the day with greek yogurt with fruit mixed into it.

  • Well, I just checked your diary to see how many calories you have left... with 609, you still have some serious movement in terms of dinner. My suggestion would be to see if there are whole wheat pasta options that you can choose from, and stick to pasta sauces that are less fattening. This way, you won't stand out too…
