Meal planning
I have been trying so hard to diet for years, but I am not having much luck. I think part of the problem is meal planning. I don't know what to eat during the day and at what time.

Meal plan problems
I am so frustrated, I started seeing a dietician. I am at 280 pounds. She has me on this meal plan. I get 7 starches, 4 fruit, 1 milk, 9 meats, but a serving of meat is 1 oz., which is not very much. 3 oz of meat for dinner, just does not do the trick. I get 3 vegetables, 5 fats, 1 bread. This seems like it should be…
